A member asked:

What causes the uterus lining to thicken? i had my ovaries removed nov. 2015 and now my uterus is measuring 5.6. i was told it needs to be 4.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Endometrium: The lining is fed by estrogen. The lining may be thickening from estrogen pills, or from estrogen produced in your fat stores. Progesterone acts to keep the lining thin. If you are on estrogen, you should also be one progesterone. Hope this helps. DrG
