Question 1

what means is endo cervical cells is present?

Accepted Answer

Endocervical cells: Hi AnswerD402, This is usually reported in a PAP SMEAR and it means that there are present on the slide for micro exam, cells from the INSIDE of the cervix. This means you have had a perfectly performed PAP smear because these are important cells to see under the microscope, to rule out cervical cancer.  thanks

Question 2

i am 44 had abnormal paps due to  hpv. had biopsy s (good) etc. pap came with endo cells. but was on last day of period...can period cause that?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is not uncommon to see endometrial cells  on a pap smear, especially with the newer liquid phase preparations. It would be more worrisome if you had irregular bleeding or spotting between periods. Many clinicians would repeat the pap smear when you are not menstruating to be more certain.

Question 3

endometrial sqamous metaplastic cells endo biopsy  has been done?

Accepted Answer

Please clarify: Pap smears and biopsies often show both squamous metaplastic endocervical cels and endometrial cells. Beyond a heads-up that hpv may be present, squamous metaplasia isn't a great concern. If you can rephrase what you are asking, someone here will be glad to help.

Question 4

nodule 2cm found on neck. one biopsy said atypia cells and i was told i had cancer. went to endo she said its benign with 2nd biopsy on thyroid. now ?

Accepted Answer

FNA: Sounds like you had a fine needle aspirate of the thyroid. You may have gotten the diagnosis of a follicular lesion. It is difficult on a needle aspirate to differentiate a,follicular adenoma,from carcinoma,and from a hyperplastic nodule. The tissue diagnosis nay have been more specific  . Get a second opinion and gave an expert pathologist review your slides and biopsies.

Question 5

is it common for a reproductive endo to test for elevated natural killer cells? has it been proven that these cells can cause an early miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Not common: It's not common, though it could be useful in specific cases. No 'proof' at all has been established of a link, but it's also not implausible.

Question 6

3 yr post menopause, no bleeding, 5mm endo/ lining, 2 small fibroids, negative biopsy and pap but atrophy, parabasal cell type.  1 yr pap, or sooner?

Accepted Answer

One year: This sounds pretty good you should not be worried those findings are typical for postmenopausal women and they are consistent with a healthy woman's findings.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Polyps: This means signs of chronic endometritis, however the polyps may need to be removed prior to attempting any treatment since they may interfere with implantation particularly if they are large.

Not uncommon: Women who are taking birth control pills continuously will sometimes have breakthrough bleeding.  And of course bleeding can be associated with cramping.  Extra estrogen can be used temporarily to stop this.  It would be best to see your gynecologist soon.
