A member asked:
Can substantial weight gain cause your uterine lining to thicken?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but : Weight gain can cause endometrial thickening but this is not normal. This is from excess estrogen and it is a risk factor for cancer. If your endometrial lining was thickened please get evaluated.
