Diagnosed With Endometrial Hyperplasia, Have Allergy Towards Medroxyprogesterone. Alternative Treatment?
I need an alternative treatment for endometrial hyperplasia; possible allergy to medroxyprogesterone 10mg. • 1st d&c on 09/08/11 had simple hyperplasia started treatment with medroxyprogesterone 10mg. • After 2.5 mos. had slight red rash on face and chest. I was told to quite taking medication. Never finished treatment – No confirmation of allergy to medroxyprogesterone 10mg. • 15 mos. after 1st d&c had 2nd d&c on January 24, 2013 • Pathology report stated “essentially the same” from both curettage; simple hyperplasia & focally complex endometrial hyperplasia, • Dr. will not treat with medroxyprogesterone because of unknown allergic reaction (it could have been from tea I drank or something else). • Dr. recommends a hysterectomy (full). • I disagree and feel this is extremely aggressive. • I would like alternative method on handling endometrial hyperplasia. • No history of health problems, age 54 always had normal periods and 2 natural childbirths • What are my alternatives?

Hi welcome to Health care magic forum.
Thanks for calling Health care magic forum.
After 2.5 months of taking medroxy progesteron you had rash on the face and chest, so it may not be due to the drug. it may be an infection, or allergy due to some other thing like clothes, food, jewelary, cosmetics or some thing of that sort, you have used recently.
first of all you consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Endometriosis has increased , more than the first time , that is why your doctor didn't prescribe medicines and asked for surgery. If you have any doubt you can consult another gynacologist for expert advise.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
Best regards.
