Patient's question:
The ultrasound taken yesterday for a follow-up check of the uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst seemed like the cyst wasn't examined thoroughly. Could you please help me take a look to see if it wasn't examined carefully? Please help me take a look! The ultrasound report states: The size of the uterus is approximately 5.35.45.4 cm; the size of the left ovary is approximately 3.21.6 cm; the size of the right ovary is approximately 2.71.7 cm; the thickness of the cervix is about 2.5 cm, with several anechoic masses visible, the largest being about 0.70.7 cm. The uterus is anteverted, with clear and smooth contours, and several low-echo nodules are visible within the muscular layer, with clear boundaries. The largest one is located on the left wall, measuring approximately 1.81.51.5 cm. The endometrial thickness is about 0.5 cm, and no intrauterine device echoes are seen in the cervix. No definite abnormal mass echoes are seen in the bilateral adnexal regions. Fluid is visible in the pelvic cavity.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. For those below 5 cm, surgical treatment is recommended. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If a patient has multiple fibroids and has not yet entered menopause, it is advised to have the uterus removed to prevent the fibroids from growing back.Uterine fibroids are a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek treatment immediately. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for appropriate treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, including a proper diet, to help alleviate the condition.
The above information is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
