The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has issued new guidelines about the sign and symptoms of endometrial hyperplasia – an abnormal thickening of the lining of the uterus – which can, in some cases develop into endometrial cancers.
Endometrial hyperplasia is a thickening of the lining of the womb which is caused by overgrowth of the cells that line the womb. In some women it can develop into womb cancer, the most common gynaecological cancer with over 8,500 diagnoses each year. The incidence of endometrial hyperplasia is estimated to be at least three times higher. Most women diagnosed with womb cancer have had their menopause with almost three quarters of cases in women aged 40 to 74.”

Thank you for posting. Do you find such things difficult to read? In the press release, one of the risk factors is “the use of tamoxifen as a treatment for breast cancer.” That was true for Kate. A toast to our dear friends who died too soon and a shot of courage for those left to carry on the stories. ❤

I feel a mixture of vindication and frustration Charli. Why does information that seems blindly obvious take so long to gain attention?
I hope this arms some women to make more of a fuss at their doctors..

My hope is that more women become empowered to look beyond the pill-of-the-day for solutions. Yes, to make a fuss for one’s own health is important. Keep doing what you are doing — if it makes a difference in one other woman’s life, you’ve made a significant difference.
