Hysterectomy is not s msndstedf procedure for this condition. Yes there is an increased risk of endometrial cancer but I would suggest a thorough curettage and if the tissue is not atypical I would use megace for three months and then repeat the evaluation. I have treated many  women for this condition in this manner and have never been sorry.
