A member asked:
Does endometriosis cause uterine endometrium to be thickened? dr says no need to biopsy 17mm thickening measured a week after my period. i'm concerned

Unusual: Endo does not usually cause that. But something is so best to either biopsy or take a look with a camera to see what is causing that. It is strange. But I do agree not likely from endo. Could be polyp.
