I was horrified at this!

I have PCOS, and one of the effects of it is to have very long gaps (six months or longer sometimes) between periods. I used to think this was great, until I started bleeding, and didnt stop. Six months later I went to a Dr, who advised me NOT having regular periods causes the uterine lining to build up abnormally. This can lead to Endometrial Hyperplasia, which is an abnormality of the uterine lining. I was lucky, I just had Endometrial Hyperplaysia. The next stage would have been endometrial hyperplasia with Atypia. This stage is always pre-cancerous, I would have had to have a hysterectomy. (I am only 30, the thought of this horrified me.) Please think long and hard about this - especially for a permenant 'solution'. I suffer dreadful pain during my periods which leave me clammy, pale, and unable to stand up. I wouldnt trade them for anything now.
