can they do an endometrial biopsy during menstrual period?

---

I am curious if anyone KNOWS for sure about this. If there is an appt scheduled for me to have an endometrial biopsy and I started my period the day before, will they still do the biopsy? I will call my dr in the morning and ask. But since I am so nervous about it, I thought it would be nice to know tonight. Thank you for your help!
yep,
I had mine done at that time.
if they do it the same way expect some pain and cramping.
if you can take some pain killers before check with you doctor what would be best.
the pain was gone in a day.
good luck with your test.  (+ info)

Any natural ways of impoving endometrial lining?

---

Wife and I have been ttc for 2 yrs and have tried 2 IUI's with clomid. Dr. says it could be that the endometrial lining is shedding before the egg is released and that it might require aggressive meds to slow down the process.. We would like to avoid that for now and see if there are any natural ways of improving the endometrial lining and the timing of when it developes so an embrio can implant.. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
There could be too many reasons...

Is her Luteal phase too short? It's time between ovulation and next period. It usually lasts 10-17 days, some doctors think that there is a problem if it is less than 12 days. Vitamin B6 could help, or natural U.S.P. progesterone cream.

If the lining is too thin, estrogen levels need to be boosted. Interestingly, I read in one source that soy could help, while other sources say that soy acts as a contraceptive.

Poor diet may negatively affect endocrine system, it's good to avoid sugar and simple carbs, stay healthy and stress-free

Unfortunately, medicine is not advanced enough to help, unless the reasons for infertility are too obvious.  (+ info)

Can anyone tell me about endometrial ablation?

---

I am considering endometrial ablation as an alternative to birth control pills to alleviate extremely heavy and painful periods. I've been on the Pill for years, but now that I'm over 40 the potential for serious side effects worries me and I'm seeking an alternative. My family is complete, so I'm fine with the permanance of ablation.

I understand many women never get their period after ablation, or if they do, it's very light. Do you still get PMS? I would expect so, since the ovaries are still intact. Does cramping disappear entirely? Anything else you can tell me to help me make the most informed decision?
Hi there...

I had an ablation done back in 12/04, for very heavy/problematic periods. You are right in saying that some women don't have a period anymore afterwards, while some have lighter ones. I myself have much lighter periods, and am quite happy with that. :)

You obviously know that an ablation ends being able to be pregnant again. If you do decide to go with an ablation, my suggestion to you is to have the Essure procedure done at the same time as the endometrial ablation. Both the ablation and Essure are done via hysteroscopically, there is no cutting involved. Essure is less invasive than a tubal ligation (in which there is an incision made).

Essure involves placing tiny coils into the fallopian tubes, causing scar tissue to build, therefore blocking the tubes... therefore preventing pregnancy. For 3 months after this is done you must use a back-up form of bc, and then an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) is done to make sure that the tubes are blocked. (That's the dye test.)

An endometrial ablation does not get rid of PMS. I wish it did... LOL. (I have severe PMDD... premenstrual dysphoric disorder.) But it's still helpful in that the periods are definitely much lighter... and, like you said, some women find themselves lucky enough to have their periods stop.

After the procedure(s) there is some bleeding and cramping, but not for too long. I think the worst for me was the day of surgery... and the next day, the pain was very minimal, while the spotting went on for a bit longer, but not too long.

I wish you all the best in your decision making. I hope that this was informative enough for you. :)  (+ info)

What is the basis of differing actions of antineoplastic agents on different tissue/neoplasms?

---

What is the basis for differing tissue- and neoplasm-specificites of antieoplastic chemotherapeutic agents? This doubt arose because considering what the pharmacokinetics of these drugs are it remains to be answered as to why a certain agent would act only in a particular tissue or neoplasm when the mechanisms they employ are so similar, e.g., various alkylating agents in spite having same action act of different tumors with differing degrees of effectiveness. Hope someone answers the question specifically. Useful links to free-text articles would also be highly appreciated. Bye. TC.
If you have thoughts on this subject, you ought to have the initiative to research it yourself.  (+ info)

why people who have heart and lung disease can not done endometrial biopsy?

---

i'm a little bit curious to know what is the relation between endometrial biopsy and heart n lung disease. i just read a statement says that people with those disease can not done endometrial biopsy.why?
Hmmm. Maybe it's because if there's a complication, surgery may have to be performed. But surgery is infinitely more dangerous if you have heart and lung disease. So the risk is not worth it.  (+ info)

Has anyone experienced endometrial polyps specifically while on the pill?

---

This has happened to me twice now, and I'm looking for anyone who might have gone through this or might otherwise be able to advise me. I start the pill, and after a few weeks, I start having breakthrough bleeding. After 2 weeks of constant bleeding on the active pills, I go off the pill. The next day, after seriously intense cramps, I pass a golf-ball sized polyp. (I know that's what it is because the second time around I had my gyn send it to the lab.) I want to know why the pill might cause this, if a different pill would probably have a different result, and if I'm putting myself in danger not having the endometrial biopsy my gyn offered. (I just can't do that, besides the polyp was benign.) I've been on the pill before with no issues, and I've had two totally normal pregnancies. The brand name of the pill is Levlen. Thanks for any decent input.
OMG! Go to the doctor! don't ask serious health questions to fools on yahoo answers! make an appointment with your doctor right now!  (+ info)

Can endometrial cancer actually be an infection?

---

I was just diagnosed with endometrial cancer yesterday, after having a biopsy come back 2 weeks ago as hyperplasia. I'm only 28 so it doesn't make sense to me. I've talked with some people and someone suggested that it may actually be an infection, not cancer..
I actually was diagnosed with endometrial cancer back in the year 2000. I was very fortunate that it was just in the lining of my uterus. I had to have a complete hysterectomy and I have never regretted it for one moment. I believe with all my heart that it saved my life. I can't say that yours can actually be an infection. Talk with your doctor about this, let him know all your doubts and fears. I know that any kind of cancer is not something that you delay or put off. If your doctor has suggested a hysterectomy, I would follow his advice. Your life is precious. Good luck and God Bless.   (+ info)

Should I have a coil fitted or an Endometrial ablation ?

---

I'm 47 and recently had problems with very heavy periods and pelvic pain. An ultrasound scan showed my endometrium was 25mm thick, I've since had this removed by a D&C. My GP has told me the consultant thinks this is all due to a recent tragic family bereavement and that I should have a coil fitted or an Endometrial ablation. I really am not sure what I should do for the best. Will my grieving still have an affect on my hormones?
You could really do with a longterm solution. A coil is good for contraception but can make periods heavier. You really need to discuss this in more detail with an expert. However, try Evening Primrose Oil to try and help balance your hormones. Works for me.  (+ info)
