Question 1

Accepted Answer

Very early: precancerous changes to the endometrium (lining inside the uterus).  If left alone, it can progress on to endometrial cancer.  There are also different levels of hyperplasia (complex, with atypia).  Don't ignore it --- it is easy to treat medically.

Question 2

what does endometrial currettings obtained mean?

Accepted Answer

Uterine lining: For a variety of reasons, a GYN will take a tissue sample of the lining of the uterus. This is frequently done to be sure that there aren't any worrisome cells present. The tissue sample is frequently referred to as endometrial currettings.  The method used to sample the uterus is called an endometrial biopsy or a D&amp;C (dilation and currettage). Good luck.

Endometrium: If you are in your 20's to 40's, the thickness of your endometrium can be from 1-2 mm. to 5-6 mm. depending on the time of your cycle. This is a normal measurement.  Measurements of over 10 mm. will need a biopsy to make certain normal cells are present, as that kind of hypertrophy can be abnormal.
