How are uterine fibroids diagnosed?

Uterine fibroids are a benign tumor. They are more common among female friends. So, how to diagnose uterine fibroids? Below, let's take a look at several methods introduced by experts.

How to diagnose uterine fibroids? Experts recommend three diagnostic methods for uterine fibroids:

1. Ultrasound examination

B-ultrasound examination is more common in China. The accuracy rate of identifying fibroids can reach 93.1%. It can show the enlargement of the uterus, irregular shape; the number, location, size of fibroids and whether the fibroids are uniform or liquefied cystic; 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 when scanned: weak echo, equal echo and strong echo.

2. Diagnostic curettage

Small submucosal fibroids or dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial polyps are not easy to detect with bimanual examination, and curettage can be used to assist in diagnosis. In the case of submucosal fibroids, the curette feels a convex surface in the uterine cavity, which rises high at first and then slides down, or feels something sliding in the uterine cavity. However, curettage can scrape the tumor surface and cause bleeding, infection, necrosis, and even sepsis. Strict aseptic operation should be performed, the action should be gentle, and the scraped material should be sent for pathological examination. If submucosal fibroids are suspected but the diagnosis and curettage are still unclear, hysterography can be used.

3. Hysterosalpingography

An ideal hysterography can not only show the number and size of submucosal fibroids, but also their location. Therefore, it is very helpful for the early diagnosis of submucosal fibroids, and the method is simple. The hysterography at the site of fibroids shows that there is filling and incompleteness in the uterine cavity.
