hi;
welcome to healthcare magic.
The scan shows multiple fibroids;they are mostly benign tumors which come in many females & cause dysfunctional uterine bleeding.In your case as the periods have stopped so may be you do not have bleeding.Anteverted uterus is the position & not any problem.All the fibroids are 1 to 4 cms in diameter & your endometrium is thickened which is common at your age with fibroid.Now when you consult a Gynaec he/she will examine you & advise you if you can be treated with medicines or need to get removed your uterus.
wish you good health
thanks
