What Are The Causes Of Thickening Of Walls, Other Than Cancer?

i had an ulstrsound that rated a 9 out of a normal 4/5 scale of my lining
and have just done a biopsy (results due Monday)
but to date, see none of the "sympyons" of 'cancers' other than this thickening
... what else could be the cause of thicken walls and is it ok to live with?

hi,
there can be other reasons of bowel wall thickening like inflammation of bowel, any fluid collection near bowel, obstruction in distal bowel etc. to arrive at a conclusion biopsy is definitive. so u r going in right way. do't panic wait for biopsy report.
