Dear Dr. DJ, Are you still in Glendale? If so, I am going to make an appointment, if you take them for this problem. I was diagnosed with endometrial thickening via transvaginal ultrasound. The doctor did not say the dreaded H word, but I could tell that was where he was headed. He also wanted to do an endometrial biopsy and I left his office and never went back. That was 8 months ago. Now I am willing to have the biopsy, though not with him, and have found a woman doctor to do it. I am also on natural progesterone (ProGest) and my symptoms have eased up a little. I’m 48 and wondering if you have any treatment for thickening of the endometrium, which I assume is due to hyperplasia, having read up on it. Thanks for any help. Gael |

Dear Dr. DJ, When someone is diagnosed through vaginal ultrasound with endometriosis and fibroids, and if these conditions lessen when pregnant and around menopause, and if natural progesterone helps to counteract against too much estrogen, as I understand happens with pregnancy and menopause, why isn’t more attention given to use of hormonal balancing and use of nat. progesterone before trying any surgery at all? |
