Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
She should do cystoscopy to rule out some more serious causes such as tumors. Altough, this is not common scenario but thickening may be sign of it. In most cases this is benign polyps or inflammation but as I sid, cystoscopy is required.
