Patient's question:
I urgently need detailed examination methods for uterine fibroids? I'm not sure about these examinations, how should uterine fibroids be examined?Doctor's answer:
Ultrasound can observe various leiomyomas growing in the submucosal layer, intramural layer, subserosal layer, etc. Implement ultrasound follow-up every 3-6 months to carefully observe the growth rate of the tumor. CT and MRI are also good methods for a thorough examination of uterine fibroids. For patients with excessive menstrual bleeding, when ultrasound shows that the tumor mass is a submucosal leiomyoma, hysteroscopy can be performed for a pathological examination, or hysteroscopic resection can be conducted. For patients with faster-growing tumors, it is best to perform punctures under ultrasound monitoring through the cervix and vagina. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas and uterine fibroids.
