What Causes Thick Uterine Lining?
After having a vaginal scan the Dr said I had a uterine lining ny of 31mm and he wants to do a biopsy. I am 44 and have regular periods, however they are extremely heavy and debilitating. I also get severe pains in my left hip and groin area. I am quite worried and wondered what the possible causes of my thick lining could be. Many thanks

Hello,
Hormonal imbalance can cause endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial hyperplasia is not cancerous but it can lead to cancer. You should consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
