What is the abnormal echo in the uterine cavity?

The uterine cavity refers to the tissue inside the uterus. This part is where the fetus lives. It is relatively fragile, and it is easy for water to accumulate in the uterine cavity, so a vaginal ultrasound examination is required. If vaginal ultrasound examination reveals abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity, it may be due to pelvic inflammatory disease or uterine fluid accumulation, or it may be a problem of prolonged menstruation. It is necessary to check the cause before using the correct method to treat the uterine cavity.

Is abnormal echo in the uterine cavity serious?

Generally, medical ultrasound-assisted examinations use ultrasonic echo development to explore the internal structure of the human body. Uterine cavity echo refers to the ultrasonic echo of the female uterus. Uterine disease is a common gynecological disease, and its clinical manifestations are mostly prolonged menstruation, prolonged menstruation or irregular vaginal bleeding. Because endometrial polyps are small in size. It is difficult to detect through abdominal ultrasound. The application of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound and ultrasound angiography has significantly improved the diagnosis rate of endometrial diseases. However, endometrial polyps and submucosal uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrial cancer are still difficult to distinguish.

Currently, transabdominal ultrasound and transvaginal ultrasound are the preferred methods for diagnosing intrauterine lesions, but the uterine cavity is usually in a closed state, and some intrauterine lesions are difficult to identify their exact type even with transvaginal ultrasound.

In recent years, hysterosalpingography has begun to be used in clinical practice. Hysteroscopy refers to the injection of contrast agent into the uterine cavity through a catheter to dilate the uterine cavity and separate the endometrium, so as to better evaluate intrauterine lesions using ultrasound.

Does abnormal echo in the uterine cavity require uterine curettage?

Abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity do not necessarily require a uterine curettage. Foreign objects in the uterus (unclean abortion, etc.), endometrial congestion, edema, and endometrial necrosis can all cause premature swelling and thickening of the endometrium, resulting in enhanced echoes and irregular fluid dark areas. In the early stage, the doctor should make clinical observations first, and continuous observations in the later stage can correctly diagnose the final result.

Patients with echo should pay attention to whether the stone has fever, lower abdominal pain, and whether there is a large amount of purulent or bloody or foul-smelling discharge from the vagina during pregnancy. Check whether the abdomen is tender when touched. In order to make an early diagnosis and receive targeted treatment.

In short, when an ultrasound examination detects abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity, it may mean that the woman is pregnant. However, it is also possible that a biochemical pregnancy has occurred. At this time, you must pay attention to whether there is any discomfort in the abdomen or any unexplained bleeding in the lower body. It is recommended that you wait quietly for the doctor to give a solution.
