When I was starting peri-menopause I had frequent periods and some hemoraging and I was diagnosed with hyperplasia of the uterus. with biopsies and some dialation and cuterages. with frequent peirods before menopause. My gyn doctor didn't push for a hyseterectomy, but thru womens vitamins, good diet and a few dnc's, keeping check with bipsies of the uterus, I was able to make it to and thru menopause. 2005 was my last perod and dnc. I was told though that I could never take hormones for my subsequent vaginal atrophy. I've tried all the natural products that aren't hormonal but nothing has worked. I have a wonderful husband of 38 years, but due to his health problems and a loosing our house in a wildfire and my problem, its been 5 years since I could comfortably have intercourse with my husband. I really miss it. Is there something for women with this problem? Especially if I haven't had vaginal sex in 5 years?
