Is It Necessary To Repeat Biopsy With Mild Endometrial Hyperplasia?

Hi, I am healthy,active 53 year old. My OBGYN did a biopsy last year because during my annual exam I had blood (end of period) everything was fine. I had an annual this year and mentioned that I had a period again after not having one for 8 months. He had me do a trans vaginal ultrasound. Everything came out normal except Borderline prominent endometrial strip of 5mm, no focal endometrial abnormality, mild endometrial hyperplasia They want me to do another Biopsy. The report said consider another ultrasound in 4 months. I take bioidentical hormone cream 1X a day and have no other health issues. Is another biopsy necessary I would prefer not to do that again.

Hello,

No need to repeat the biopsy. You can opt for follow-up scans frequently. If you develop symptoms like bleeding, a repeat biopsy will be useful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
