Patient's question:
On the twelfth day after sexual intercourse, the local doctor said during the physical examination ultrasound that there is a 1 multiplied by something uterine fibroid. Is it usually measured in millimeters? I'm nervous—is what was shown on the ultrasound a gestational sac instead of a uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description. Uterine fibroids are relatively common benign tumors in women. If the size of the uterine fibroid does not exceed 5 centimeters and does not affect the menstrual cycle or menstrual volume, it is generally not necessary to treat it. A gestational sac is anechoic within the uterine cavity. A gestational sac only appears after pregnancy. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood hCG test if there is a delay in menstruation to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If the uterine fibroid is small, it can be treated conservatively with oral Guizhi Fuling pills. Regularly check with the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound.
