What does it mean when the lining of the uterus is too thick?

Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition in which the uterine lining becomes too thick. Having too much of the hormone estrogen without the hormone progesterone is one of the main causes of endometrial hyperplasia.

Some of the most common symptoms of a too thick endometrial lining include: irregular or frequent periods, bleeding between cycles, heavy bleeding (dysmenorrhea), pain during intercourse (dyspaurenia), cramping, bloating in the pelvic region, etc. Visit your OB/GYN if you think you may have this condition.
