I am 41, no kids, just got engaged and wanted to start my family. I just don’t want to have a hysterectomy yet. But, I don’t want to risk cancer either.

It is benign disease& curable.Just read.-
It shouldn’t be a surprise that many women with uterine fibroids at some point end up with hyperplasia if their fibroids and resulting symptoms are left untreated. Hormonal imbalances that incite fibroid growth seem to incite fast multiplication of cell growth of the endometrial lining as well. If hyperplasia and uterine fibroids are both part of your diagnosis and abnormal bleeding is a major symptom, treating the hyperplasia first with progesterone may well bring the bleeding under control; thus, allowing you to postpone treatment for your uterine fibroids until they become symptomatic enough on their own to warrant action.
Hyperplasia is the result of hormonal imbalances (just like fibroids!) and women who are diagnosed with hyperplasia all lack appropriate progesterone levels. The first line of defense for hyperplasia is progesterone pills as this is an easy way to increase a woman’s progesterone levels and prevent the hyperplasia from progressing. If this treatment along with a D&C doesn’t work to stop hyperplasia from developing into endometrial cancer, it would then be appropriate to turn to hysterectomy.
People suffering from this disorder tend to produce too much androgen instead of the aldosterone and cortisol hormones. In children, mostly girls, this kind of disorder is known to tamper with the development and growth of the genitals, making them look more masculine than feminine… Read more here:
