Experts briefly analyze how to effectively diagnose uterine fibroids

Correct and effective diagnosis of uterine fibroids is very important for female patients, which helps to reduce the misdiagnosis of uterine fibroids. What are the common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids ? The following is a brief introduction to the common diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids.

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

Plain X-ray: When the fibroids are calcified, the diagnosis of uterine fibroids is based on 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.

Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination is more common in China. To identify fibroids, this diagnostic method for uterine fibroids can show the enlargement of the uterus, irregular shape, number, location, size of fibroids, whether the fibroids are uniform or liquefied cystic, and whether there is compression of other organs around them.

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: Generally, these two methods are not needed for the diagnosis of uterine fibroids. The images of CT diagnosis of fibroids only express the details within a specific layer, and the image structures do not overlap. The CT image of benign uterine tumors is an increase in volume.

The above is an introduction to the common diagnostic methods of uterine fibroids. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you have uterine fibroids, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
