Okay, my concern for you would be that you have excess tissue due to your weight inside your uterus, but you might also have fibroids - both of these problems are due to excess estrogen in your body - and I would recommend that you do get this evaluated - so you do need a pelvic exam, a PAP smear, an Endometrial biopsy of the inside of the uterus to check for any abnormal tissue inside your uterus, and also a pelvic ultrasound.
I hope this helps, if you have more questions, pleasea ask, and please click on ACCEPT, thank you

This is very scarey . I'm so afraid of getting cancer .

Expert:  Dr. Owen replied 1 year ago.

Very Unlikely that it is cancer - and more than likely this is just due to excess estrogen - but the big thing to help you is your weight - a lot of women do not realize that excess weight contributes to uterine cancer - but you can control that.
If you have more questions, please ask
