Can an ultrasound detect uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can a transvaginal ultrasound detect uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids have a hereditary factor across generations. Additionally, issues with endocrine hormones can easily lead to the development of uterine fibroids. If your mother has uterine fibroids, it is recommended that you visit a gynecology department daily for gynecological health checks. Vaginal color Doppler ultrasound provides clearer and more accurate results than a regular color Doppler ultrasound, so it can be used to diagnose how uterine fibroids develop.
