What is thickening of the womb please?
Thickening of the womb happens every month during a woman's monthly cycle. It is when the lining of the womb builds up so that if the egg is fertilised it will have a soft, spongy lining to implant into and will be protected throughout the pregnancy If the egg is not fertilised, the lining breaks down as it is not needed, and that is what a period is The thickening of the womb is caused by hormones that trigger it to thicken
Can a woman without a womb menstruate?
No. Menstruation is the shedding of the lining of the womb. No womb, no shedding.

Does the lining of your uterus always come out during your period?
Yes, it does, unless it did not build up in the first place. As soon as your period ends, the womb lining begins to build up and thicken so that if the egg is fertilised, there will be a thick, safe, spongy environment for it to implant in. If the egg has not been fertilised, it will break down during your period because it is not needed. However, sometimes, the right hormones are not being produced or not enough of them are produced and the womb lining does not build up, therefore it does not break down either

What is the purpose of thickening the lining of the womb?
During the years between your first period and before menopause, the lining of the womb (endometrium) thickens monthly in preparation for potential pregnancy and is discharged as "period" if the woman doesn't become pregnant.
Why are you having your period?
Every month, a woman's womb creates a lining of blood and tissue and her body releases an egg. If sexual intercourse occurs and the woman becomes pregnant, the lining of the womb her body has created will cushion and protect the developing baby. However, if she does not become pregnant, the lining will lose its nutrients and die. These dead blood cells must then be passed out of the body along with the egg and this is a period. Once the lining of the womb has broken down and passed out of the body the cycle can begin again.
