Hello and welcome to HCM
The ultrasonography report gives information regarding the position of the uterus, thickness of the endometrium and presence of two growths in the myometrium.
The anteverted position is the normal position of the uterus.
Myomas are growths arising from the myometrium (muscle layer) of the uterus. There are two small myomas.
Myomas are usually benign. Their removal is needed in cases where they cause pain or menstrual disorders. If asymptomatic they can be left alone.
The endometrial lining is sloghtly thickened.
You need a few investigations to know the cause of thickening of endometrium.
An endometrial curreting should be done.
Consult your gynaecologist for further work up.
Thanks and take care
