looking threw my records

Bored and going threw my records...I Have Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOS) and dysfunctional uteruin bleeding (DUB). I know what those are but my record also says endometrial hyperplasia and cystic and adenomatous hyperplasia. What are those 2 things???????? :confuse:

Hi Jennifer,

I just did a search on www.askjeeves.com for the term hyperplasia and came up with this article in Web MD:

I hope it helps answer your questions.

thanks for the article, am going to go check it out!!

Jennifer,

I have been reading your posts and feel your frustration . . . take some boxing gloves with ya tomorrow!

Ever notice how the terminology for women's parts are somewhat derogatory? Like . . . dysfunctional uterus, ovarian failure, etc . . .

just a bug-a-boo with me, one of those thangs . . .

Hi emcats,

I don't really think that the medical terms dysfunctional or failure are sexist. For example, my DH has "congestive heart failure."

I just went to WebMD and found, under men's health "erectile dysfunction" so I think that these are simply medical terms.

I also just saw the wording Uteruin prolaps. Whats that mean??

Hi Jennifer,

Uterine prolapse means that your uterus is beginning to drop. In my case, I had prolapses of the uterus, bowel and bladder. Here's a link to a site that may help:
http://pages.prodigy.com/prolapse.html/ I just tried to link to it, though, and the site is down, so if it doesn't come up, try again a little bit later on.

You can also so a search on our site (little purple button at top right of the page) for prolapse and there will be lots of threads discussing it.
