"Unusual thickening of the endo lining" or what others have called
"Estrogen Dominant Condition"
There is a connection, although it's not talked about or addressed specifically in the Medical Forums or Mirena's own website, of the effect that this device has on your hormone levels and what it does to your body after it's been removed.
I had a normal lining, proven by ultrasounds prior to the insertion that progressed to 10mm a week after removal of the device and progressive thickening of the endo lining up to 13mm in the 8 week followup ultrasound.
So, a quick summar of what happened to me after removal of this device (after only having it in under 21 days):
* irregular complex cyst (gone within 6 weeks)
* thickened uterine lining (deemed abnormal) measuring at 10mm
* increase in lining thickness, now up to 13mm (6 week's time)
Note: at around 15mm, the "C" word starts getting used
Was any of this discussed with you by your doctor? Certainly not mine.
