ACCEPTED

Hello,

This probably means that you have Endometrial hyperplasia. Hyperplasia usually develops in the presence of continuous estrogen stimulation unopposed by progesterone. During adolescence and in the years before menopause women may have numerous cycles without ovulation (anovulatory) during which there is continuous unopposed estrogen activity.
