A member asked:
What might cause a thickened uterine lining in a woman with premature ovarian failure vs. one in natural menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estrogen excess: Endometrial thickening is usually due to excess estrogen effect on the uterine lining or infrequent ovulation. A polyp, submucus fibroid or (less commonly) an endometrial cancer can cause an abnormally thickened endometrial lining.
