I want to know the implications of having these sizes of fibroilx - #17547
I did a pelvic ultrasound scan and the results were the following for the fibroid. The uterus is anteverted and heterogeneous in echo pattern. It measures [9.04 x 5.38 x 3.59] cm. The endometrial lining is normal in size and echopattern. There is no intra or extra uterine gestational sac, yolk sac, fetal pole or retained product of conception. There are multiple (about 3) intramural and subserosal uterine nodules at anterior and posterior wall of the uterus measuring [3.86 x 3.20] cm and [2.59 x 2.57] cm Both ovaries are normal in size and echopattern.

Hello dear As per clinical findings, following inference can be withdrawn No pregnancy chances Normal uterus Normal ovaries Fibroids presence which are non cancerous However you haven’t mentioned the symptoms so as per history follow up is must for 5-6 months However in case of complications like bleeding and severe pain, following procedure may be recommended Medication like hormonal therapy Surgical procedures like Myomectomy or hysterectomy However for further details consult gynaecologist in person for better clarity Hopefully iam clear with your query Regards
Your scan shows:
Normal uterus position
Normal endometrial (pregnancy test area)
NOT pregnant
No ectopic pregnancy
Multiple small/moderate fibroids causing the heterogeneous uterus
Nothing dangerous is seen, but monitoring is needed.
Visit nearest gynaecologist.
Hello,
Your uterus is normal in size and tilted forward (normal).
The lining of the uterus is normal.
There is no pregnancy and no retained pregnancy tissue.
👍The uterus looks “heterogeneous” because you have multiple fibroids (about 3).
👍The fibroids are intramural -in the muscle wall and subserosal -on the outer surface.
👍Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) and common.
Overall: Normal uterus + presence of fibroids: no signs of pregnancy or dangerous findings.
But may need monitoring
Thats it Thank you Sylvia
Hello Sylvia Here’s a summary of what the findings indicate: 1. Uterus Size and Position:Your uterus is anteverted (tilted forward) and measures within a normal range. The heterogeneous echo pattern may suggest the presence of fibroids or other changes, but it’s not uncommon. 2. Endometrial Lining:The endometrial lining appears normal, which is a positive sign. 3. Fibroids:You have multiple fibroids (intramural and subserosal) located on the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus. The sizes of the largest fibroids are approximately 3.86 cm and 2.59 cm. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths and can vary in size and number. 4. Ovaries: Both ovaries are normal in size and appearance, which is good.
Next Steps: - Consult Your Doctor:It’s important to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can explain the implications of the fibroids, especially if you are experiencing symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, or pressure. - Management Options: Depending on your symptoms and the size of the fibroids, your doctor may suggest monitoring, medication, or surgical options if necessary. - Follow-Up: Regular follow-up ultrasounds may be recommended to monitor the fibroids for any changes.
Thank you
Hi Sylvia,
Your scan suggests multiple small fibroids (benign muscle growths in the uterus), which are common and often harmless.
Treatment is not one‑size‑fits‑all; it depends mainly on your age, symptoms, and whether you wish to have children in future.
Please share your main symptoms (bleeding, pain, pressure, fertility issues, or totally asymptomatic), and the reason this ultrasound was done so management can be tailored for you.
