aytpia cells?

Good morning!

I wanted input from you lovely ladies! I had a ablation/d&C/ biopsy completed on 04/20/16 and the path shows the following:

Multiple fragments of secretory endometrium and without hyperplasia, atypia, nor invasive malignancy.

Scattered fragments of endocervix, ectocervix, myometrium with atypia.

I'm concerned with the scattered fragments with atypia. I haven't spoke to my Dr. yet but he signed off on the path report as benign. I do want to have those atypia cells dealt with correct????

Of course I'd bring my concerns to the doctor, which I am sure you are planning on doing, however aytpia, doesn't always mean cancerous. It can be a sign of inflammation or infection and sometimes can be a normal sign of aging. Try not to worry too much. Tell your doc your concerns and if you want it treated more aggressively than he/she is willing, a second opinion might be warranted! I wish you well !

(((Melissa))) It sounds like the endometrium was clear which is very good news. But, it does sound like there were some abnormalities attributed to the cervix. As ShanaM1981 pointed out, not all are created equal, with some being due to perfectly benign causes. I'd definitely address this with your doctor for clarification as he might have more precise information as to the nature of these findings. And, as always, if you aren't comfortable with things, etc., by all means don't hesitate to get another opinion. Remember, we are our own best advocates!
