Thanks for response. I am thinking that the cause of the inflammation
is the progesterone that was prescribed for excessive bleeding which was
from unopposed estrogen. My guess is that the inflammation or ASCUS
could reflect wild fluctuations in hormones. If the case, then I would
not want massive biopsies. It would not make sense. Just interested in
very conservative approach.
