How to diagnose uterine fibroids

The examination of uterine fibroids must be taken seriously, because only through examination can you determine whether you are affected by this disease, so as to take symptomatic treatment in time. After all, these reproductive diseases will bring great obstacles to women's physical health and reproductive health. Common ones include B-ultrasound examination and diagnostic curettage examination.

1. B-ultrasound examination. B-ultrasound examination is currently a common method for examining uterine fibroids, with an accuracy rate of over 93%. It can detect the number, location, size, and presence of uniform or liquefied cystic changes in fibroids.

2. X-ray examination. When the tumor is calcified, it appears as scattered consistent spots or shell-like calcifications, with a rough and wavy honeycomb-like capsule or edge. This is also an examination item for uterine fibroids.

3. Diagnostic curettage and dilation Small submucosal fibroids or dysfunction, uterine bleeding, and endometrial polyps are not easy to detect with bimanual examination. Curettage and dilation can be used to assist in diagnosis. If it is a submucosal fibroid, the surgical instrument may feel a convex surface rising up and then sliding down in the uterine cavity, or feel something sliding in the uterine cavity. This is one of the examination methods for uterine fibroids.

4. Hysterosalpingography. 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. The method is simple, and the angiography at the site of the fibroid can show fullness and incompleteness in the uterine cavity. This type of examination for uterine fibroids is relatively common. Experts from Langfang Friendship Hospital recommend: Laparoscopic minimally invasive technology is still the preferred treatment for uterine fibroids, based on comprehensive considerations such as the patient's symptoms, fibroid size and location, age, and fertility requirements.
