Is Two Series Of Prometrium Required For Complex Hyperplasia With Atypia?

I have been diagnosed with complex hyperplasia with atypia. My d and c s (2) both show no malignancy. My gyn. wants me to get a hysterectomy. I have had one 90 day series of Prometrium about 3 years ago. I have been reading that two series should be done. Should I ask my doctor to try another bout of prometrium?

Hi. The rule is - if in doubt go for hysterectomy if you have completed family.
This is the only sure way to know as D and C gets only superficial layers for examination.
