How to Check for Uterine Fibroids

How to check for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in the female reproductive organs. Most women do not have obvious symptoms at the beginning of the disease, and some patients may be found to have uterine fibroids during physical examinations. However, as the number of uterine fibroids increases, most women will have irregular bleeding in the second half of their menstrual period, so you should pay attention to this time.

Female friends should go to the hospital for check-up in time to detect any problems in time. There are many ways to check uterine fibroids, such as B-ultrasound, diagnostic curettage, laparoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.

B-ultrasound examination is the most commonly used diagnostic method at present. It can basically detect the size and number of female uterine fibroids. However, B-ultrasound examination can only help check and diagnose whether there are uterine fibroids, and can only provide reference opinions on whether they are malignant.

Third, the diagnostic curettage examination is mainly aimed at patients with irregular vaginal bleeding, and checks whether there is a possibility of malignant changes in the patient's uterus, which is also the most important existence of this examination. The main purpose of hysteroscopy is to observe the morphology of the uterus and accurately determine whether there are abnormal organisms in the uterus. However, magnetic resonance imaging is mainly divided into uterine fibroids and other diseases. When patients undergo surgery, they will choose to use magnetic resonance imaging to help doctors understand the location of fibroids during surgery and increase the chances of successful surgery.

In fact, the diagnosis of uterine fibroids is not very difficult. Ordinary color Doppler ultrasound examination can detect it, but because the disease is immeasurable, there are many other examinations besides color Doppler ultrasound, so patients should let the doctor decide what examination to do according to their actual situation. Being able to follow the doctor's advice is the most important thing patients should do.
