Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
The
ultrasound report that you posted reveals that you have a condition in your
uterus called fibroids, the scientific name for them is called leiomyomata. Fibroid tumors are growths of the normal muscle tissue in the uterus that cause pressure on the surrounding tissue in the uterus. They are benign, meaning they are not cancer, but their symptoms are related to where they are located within your uterus. Fibroids typically appear in women between 30 and 50 years of age, and almost 30 to 50% of women depending upon your race and ethnicity will have fibroids in their lifetime.
On this ultrasound, they mention that you have three fibroids, all them being rather small (under 2 cm in size). However, the ultrasound report says that they are submucous in location, which means that the tumors are actually pressing on the inner lining of the uterus, which in many women can cause heavy, irregular, or painful periods.
If you do have symptoms related your period, this is likely the cause. However many women just have fibroids in their uterus without symptoms. In that case, the fibroids require no treatment.
Depending on your symptoms, age, and desire for
fertility, there are different treatments available for fibroids both surgical and nonsurgical. You should see a gynecologist to go over the results with you and he or she will be able to suggest the best treatment for your symptoms.
I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes,
