The two most common methods of diagnosing uterine fibroids

The uterus is a place where tumors are more likely to occur. If it is a benign tumor, it is a uterine fibroid, which is less harmful to female friends and easier to treat. What are the common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids ? The following will tell you about the most common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids.

In general, the most common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids are:

1. Detection of the uterine cavity: Use a probe to measure the uterine cavity. Intramural fibroids or submucosal fibroids often enlarge and deform the uterine cavity. Therefore, a uterine probe can be used to detect the size and direction of the uterine cavity. Comparing with the findings of biphasic clinics can help determine the nature of the mass, and at the same time understand whether there is a mass in the cavity and its location. However, it must be noted that the uterine cavity is often tortuous, or blocked by submucosal fibroids, so that the probe cannot be fully probed, or if it is a subserosal fibroid, the uterine cavity often does not enlarge, but instead causes misdiagnosis. This is a common method for diagnosing uterine fibroids.

2. Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is more common in China at present, and it is also a common diagnostic method for uterine fibroids. The accuracy rate of identifying fibroids can reach 93.1%. It can show that the uterus is enlarged and irregular in shape; the number, location, size of fibroids, whether the fibroids are uniform or liquefied cystic, etc.; and whether there is compression of other organs around. Due to the dense cells per unit volume of tumor cells in fibroid nodules, the content of connective tissue scaffold structure and the different arrangement of tumors and cells, the fibroid nodules show three basic changes during scanning: weak echo, equal echo and strong echo. The weak echo type has high cell density, high elastic fiber content, mainly nested arrangement of cells, and relatively rich blood vessels. The strong echo type has a high content of collagen fibers, and tumor cells are mainly arranged in bundles. The equal echo type is between the two. Posterior wall fibroids are sometimes unclear. The harder the fibroid, the heavier the attenuation performance, and the benign attenuation is more obvious than the malignant. When the fibroid degenerates, the acoustic penetration is enhanced. When the fibroid becomes malignant, the necrotic area increases and the echo inside is disordered.

The above is an explanation of the common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to female friends. Once diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid worsening of the disease and causing irreversible consequences.
