What Does This Ultrasound Report Indicate?

Brief Answer:
There is a fibroid in your uterus which is usually a harmless tumour
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Your ultrasound scan shows that there is a fibroid in the uterus. It is a benign and harmless tumour in most patients. It can cause symptoms like heavy bleeding or increase the duration of your bleeding during periods.
The size is 4.6 x 4.8 cm which is like a small golf ball. You need to check with your gynecologist and do follow up ultrasound scans after 3 to 6 months or as recommended. In some women a fibroid can decrease in size with medications. Few women might have an increase in the size after few months to years.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
