Patient's question:
2011 August Ultrasound: Anterior uterine position, uterine size 85mmx71mmx71mm, heterogeneous muscle layer echoes, multiple low echo nodules visible, one located in the low thick wall layer, protruding outside the uterus, size 57mmx51mmx58mm, CDFL: visible blood flow signals around its periphery, endometrial line on the left, thickness about 22mmDoctor's answer:
From your report, it appears that the larger one is of the subserosal type, slightly larger in volume. I'm not sure if you have any discomfort symptoms? For multiple uterine fibroids, treatment primarily focuses on alleviating discomfort symptoms or creating conditions for conception. Magnetic resonance ablation therapy could be considered.The concept of using magnetic resonance ablation (HIFU) to treat symptomatic fibroids is to first target the largest, most impactful fibroids that may affect the patient. If other smaller fibroids grow and cause issues, they can be treated again. By the time the patient reaches menopause, the fibroids will naturally stop growing, enlarging, or disappearing.
