2 cm Endometrial Polyp After Removal
Polyps in the cervix are almost never cancerous, but can bleed or get infected and should be removed. The are not directly related to an endometrial or uterine polyp (which is a precancerous condition), but your gyno may want to make sure these two conditions do not co-exist.

    I had a very painful beginning to my period this morning. I passed a white fatty tissue thing similar to the one in the pic (I actually took a pic of mine- yuck) Often my menstrual pain will radiate to my inner right thigh as well.I had to take a pain killer to alleviate the intense pain. Do you have any suggestions. I have regular yearly pap tests and nothing is abnormal. Every couple of months I notice the tissue. I have had a scan of my ovaries and they appear fine.

    Many women are now reporting that they are passing more than one decidual casts in their lifetime. It is possible to devise a treatment strategy that would slow menstrual bleeding and thus stop this cycle. For women who wish more children, ther are hormonal methods of doing this, as well as using a Mirena IUD. For those who have considered the Mirena IUD in the past but were worried about cost, check your plans again, with the new health care, most cover these 100%. For women who have finished having children, you may want to consider an endometrial ablation, this can be done in a same day service appointment at Women's Health Practice. Call 217-356-3736 for more information.

    I 've been bleeding twice a month and very heavy periods with clots since August, I've recently consulted a doctor, clinic eventually was referred to hospital after collapsing. I'm puzzled that I do not seem to respond to the medication that has been prescribed to stop the bleeding even after it was administered intravenously and the oral dose was increases. Currently I'm waiting for the biopsy result since on examination in hospital the Dr noticed a cervical polyp. What could this be? Anonymous

    The endocervical polyp seen in the above post is ot cancer and most are non-cancerous. They can get infected, cause bleeding or cause bleeding after intercourse and thus should be evaluated by your gynecologist. www.womenshealthpracticec.om

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

By
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously.  It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods  Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

By
If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

By
Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
