Patient's question:
My ultrasound report states:Findings:
The uterus is anteverted. The cross-sectional size is 5.85.34.5 cm, with normal morphology. The muscular echo is homogeneous, and the endometrium is centrally located, measuring 1.4 cm. No significant abnormalities were observed in the bilateral adnexa.
Ultrasonographic Suggestions:
1. The endometrium is slightly thickened.
2. No significant abnormalities were noted in the bilateral adnexa.
What does this mean? Do I have a health problem?
What are the bilateral adnexa? I started having sex in March of this year and have only one sexual partner! The first time, I did not experience bleeding.
Doctor's answer:
Endometrial hyperthickness is clinically manifested as functional uterine bleeding, with main symptoms including irregular menstruation, prolonged menstrual periods, and excessive menstrual flow. Most cases occur during menopause or adolescence. Its occurrence is related to excessive estrogen secretion by the ovaries and a lack of progesterone. It can be treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has certain characteristics and advantages in treating gynecological diseases, with minimal or no side effects. Moreover, different treatment methods should be adopted based on different constitutions and etiologies, guiding the body's natural tendencies to regulate the menstrual cycle and restore ovulation. If endometrial hyperthickness is severe, it is important to seek professional medical attention for a detailed examination and treatment. The doctor can formulate an appropriate treatment plan based on your constitution and condition.
