Uterine Lining Thick. Should I Be Concerned? Took Depo Provera Shots. Chances Of Endometriosis?
I was told by my doctor that my uterine lining is 16 mm. Do I need to be concerned? I was given a shot of depo provera 6 weeks ago and another one this past Thursday, and then another next month. Is it possible that I have endometriosis? Family history is involved as my mother and her mother had and both had to have a hysterectomy .

WELCOME TO HCM
THE THICKENED ENDOMETRIUM IS DUE TO PROGESTRONE ACTION ON ENDOMETRIUM .
IT IS NOT ENDOMETRIOSIS.
THE SIDE EFFECT OF DEPOPROVERA IS ENDOMETRIAL HYPERTROPHY.
YOU CAN TRY COMBINED CONTRACEPIVE WHICH COULD PREVENT THIS.
