A member asked:

Endometrial biopsy says profilferative endometrium with focal ciliated metaplasia. i have history of tickened endometrium and with irregular menstrual?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is not cancer: This report indicates an overgrown proliferative endometrium which has not been exposed to progesterone. Estrogen only will produce such a situation and bears watching because the endometrium could go forward to endometrial cancer unless combated by progesterone Rx.
