Tamoxofien And Thicker Uterine Lining

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭

Since I have been on tamoxofien I have developed ovarian cysts and a thicker uterine lining .(10mm) has anyone else had issues like this ? My gyn says if it continues I'll need a d&c:-{{

Yes that happened to me. I had to have a hysterectomy. Then I was taken off tamoxifen

Yes, its my understanding that tamoxifen can cause significant uterine changes for many women so your issues are shared by others. I completed a full course of it, and attribute it to my needing a hysterectomy after developing very large uterine fibroids with extreme bleeding. I did the D&C and cauterizations, but none of that helped. Sorry to share that news with you.

My uterine lining was also thick. I had a uterine biopsy and it was negative. Since then I have changed medication for other reasons hope this helped

My ob gyn doctor did not want me to go on tamoxifen due to the fact that I already have uterine fibroids and heavy periods.
