Patient's question:
Pre-Chinese New Year Ultrasound Findings; The uterus is retroverted. The uterine body measures 7.657.376.14 cm, and the cervix measures 3.574.913.28 cm. The uterine body appears well-filled, with uneven distribution of muscle layer echoes. A low-echoic mass approximately 4.884.03 cm in size is observed on the posterior wall of the uterus, with well-defined margins. The endometrium is clear and centrally located, measuring 1.10 cm in thickness. The cervix is of regular shape, with no abnormal echoes noted internally. No significant space-occupying lesions are observed in the bilateral adnexal regions.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in the female reproductive system, with a very low risk of malignancy. Their etiology may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Generally, they are asymptomatic, but some may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and compression symptoms, among others. Treatment depends on the specific circumstances. Small fibroids usually do not require treatment, but if they are large (diameter greater than 6 cm) and symptomatic, surgical treatment is recommended.
