Can uterine fibroids be detected by B-ultrasound?

Uterine fibroids can usually be discovered through B-ultrasound examination. Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in the female reproductive system. B-ultrasound examination is one of the main methods for diagnosing uterine fibroids. There are two main methods: transabdominal B-ultrasound and transvaginal B-ultrasound.

For transabdominal B-ultrasound, it is necessary to hold back urine to fill the bladder so that the condition of the uterus and appendages can be observed. This method is suitable for most women and can clearly show the location, size and number of fibroids. Transvaginal B-ultrasound does not require holding back urine. The probe is placed into the vagina for examination. The image resolution is higher and the detection rate of smaller fibroids is better. It is especially suitable for obese patients or when the abdominal B-ultrasound image is unclear. B-ultrasound examination can determine whether the fibroids are compressing surrounding organs and causing deformation of the uterine cavity, and can also initially determine the nature of the fibroids. For fibroids with a diameter of more than 1 cm, B-ultrasound has a higher detection rate. Some fibroids may be missed due to their special location or small size. In this case, other examination methods need to be combined.

It is recommended that women of childbearing age undergo annual gynecological examinations, including B-ultrasound examinations. Pay attention to the changes in menstruation in daily life. If symptoms such as increased menstrual flow, prolonged menstruation, or lower abdominal distension occur, you should seek medical treatment in time. Maintain a regular schedule, avoid overexertion, and exercise appropriately to help improve your physical fitness. Pay attention to a balanced diet, limit the intake of high-fat foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
