Introduction to five specific diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids

With the advancement of modern medical technology, some relatively advanced diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids have emerged, which can help patients with uterine fibroids to determine their condition in a timely manner and receive more scientific treatment. What are the specific diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids ? Let's talk about the specific diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids.

Generally, the specific diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids are:

Plain X-ray: When the fibroids are calcified, the diagnosis of uterine fibroids is manifested by scattered consistent spots, or a shell-like calcified capsule, or a honeycomb with rough and wavy edges.

Diagnostic curettage: Small submucosal fibroids or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial polyps are not easy to detect with bimanual examination, and curettage can be used as one of the methods for diagnosing uterine fibroids. If it is a submucosal fibroid, the curette will feel a convex surface in the uterine cavity, which will rise up and then slide down, or you will feel something sliding in the uterine cavity.

Hysterosalpingography: Ideal hysterosalpingography can not only show the number and size of submucosal fibroids, but also locate them. Therefore, it is very helpful for the diagnosis of early uterine fibroids of submucosal fibroids, and the method is simple. Contrast film of the fibroids shows that there is filling and incompleteness in the uterine cavity.

CT and MRI: They are both good diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids. When CT is used to diagnose fibroids, its images only express the details within a specific layer, and the image structures do not overlap. The CT image of a benign uterine tumor is an increase in volume.

Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is more common in China. Differentiating fibroids, the diagnosis of uterine fibroids can show the enlargement of the uterus, irregular shape; the number, location, size of the fibroids, whether the fibroids are uniform or liquefied cystic, etc.; and whether there is compression of other organs around them.

The above is an introduction to the specific diagnosis methods of uterine fibroids. I believe everyone should know about it. Once diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital in time to actively receive treatment in order to effectively alleviate the condition, which is beneficial to your health.
