What Causes Thickened Uterine Lining?

YYYY@YYYY
It is thick endometrial lining.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani. I will be answering your concerns.
I think, they mentioned it as thickened uterine lining and not vaginal wall. In the postmenopause state normally the uterine lining should not be more than 4 mm.
The reasons for thick uterine lining are:
1. Hormone replacement treatment
2. Use of Tamoxifen
3. Endometrial polyp
4. Endometrial hyperplasia
5. Very Rarely due to uterine cancer
Though the possibility of any malignancy is rare, because of the seriousness of the condition you are given early referral to Gynecologist.
I hope this is helpful.
If you have further concerns I will be happy to answer.
Best wishes,
Dr Rama

Hi,
Welcome back.
If the vagina is dry, the ultrasound examination causes discomfort. That is the reason for the tech asking that question to you.
It does not mean that she saw something.
