What are the tests for uterine fibroids?

There are many types of uterine fibroids, and the patient's condition varies from person to person. For a common gynecological disease like uterine fibroids, examination and diagnosis are very important. Let's take a look at what are the daily examinations for uterine fibroids? Let's find out.

The main examinations for uterine fibroids are as follows:

1. Diagnostic curettage: Qualified and experienced physicians mainly use probes to detect the depth and direction of the uterine cavity, feel the shape of the uterine cavity, and understand whether there is a mass in the uterine cavity and its location. At the same time, scrape the endometrium for pathological examination to rule out other endometrial lesions.

2. Gynecological examination: The uterus of intramural fibroids is often enlarged and has an irregular surface. For subserosal fibroids, a spherical mass connected to the uterine pedicle may be felt. For submucosal fibroids, the uterus is often uniformly enlarged, and sometimes the fibroids are located in the cervical os or prolapse into the vagina.

3. Ultrasound examination: This is a commonly used auxiliary diagnosis method. Ultrasound examination can be used to understand the growth location and number of fibroids and whether the tumor is uniform, liquefied, or degenerated. Ultrasound examination is helpful in diagnosing uterine fibroids, providing a reference for distinguishing whether the fibroids are degenerated, and helping to distinguish them from ovarian cysts or other pelvic masses.

4. Laparoscopic examination: When fibroids need to be differentiated from ovarian cysts or other pelvic masses, laparoscopic drilling can be performed to pay attention to the size, shape, location and nature of the uterus.

5. Hysteroscopy: The morphology of the uterine cavity and the presence of vegetation can be directly observed through the vagina. It is mainly used to observe the size and location of submucosal fibroids.

6. X-ray: When judging uterine fibroids, an X-ray is needed to make an effective judgment on whether the edge is rough and observe what it looks like. It can also make effective inferences on the severity of the disease symptoms.

7. Hysterosalpingography: This can effectively and accurately locate the number and size of uterine fibroids, so that the treatment can be effective immediately.

8. Detection of the uterine cavity: The nature of the mass and its specific location must be effectively determined.
