Question 1

i have been diagnosed with calcifications in the uterus i had breast cancer 3 years ago should. be worried ?

Accepted Answer

No usually benign: Calcifications due to fibroids which are benign.

Question 2

the uterus appears heterogeneous in echotexture with multiple uterine fibroids. in the right fundus, there is a 3.5 cm fibroid. there is a 3.6 cm partially calcified uterine fibroid in the left uterus. endometrial stripe is obscured?

Accepted Answer

: This appears to be an excerpt from a pelvic ultrasound of a 53 year old female. I suspect the study was obtained because you presented with vaginal bleeding or pelvic pain, but it could have been for many other reasons. It would be inappropriate to interpret the study without the entire report but given the findings provided it is paramount that you see a gynecologist within 2 weeks.

Question 3

my uterus measures 99 x 35 x 45 mm. the report says there is a 2 mm punctate calcification poster of uterus. is this bad?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: As we age calcium gets deposited in lots of places including uterine fibroids, in the breast, in blood vessels, etc.  Probably this is fine, but I am only saying based on the limited info you are giving me.

Question 4

what are the symptoms of endometrial calcification of the uterus?

Accepted Answer

Typically, None.: Endometrial calcifications are typically incidental and benign without any particular symptoms. They are picked up as incidental findings during ultrasound exams. Lots of detailed info in this professional paper:

Question 5

a tiny calcification at anterior wall of the uterus and in the endometrium are noted.what is that ? is it dangerous ? what should i do

Accepted Answer

Calcification: womb: Small calcified areas are not uncommon in the wall of the uterus. If this was an ultrasound finding, it could also represent an end on picture of a blood vessel, which has calcium deposits in the wall.  It is not dangerous, but more common in ages above 30-35.

Question 6

my endometrium is 1.31 cm and heterogenous. i also have a 3 mm calcification in my lower uterus. i am 48. is this something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Thick endometrium: At 48yo with thickened endometrium and calcification in the lower uterus will need evaluation to include, pregnancy test and hysteroscopy/d&amp;c. The above evaluation can offer you reassurance. Good luck.

Question 7

uterus measures 7.5 x 3.8 x 4.3 cm it is homogeneous in echotexture. the endometrial stripe measures 0.6cm. questionable punctate calcification is identified in the endometrium. what does calcification means? should i be concerned? other tests ? mayb

Accepted Answer

Could be : a benign polyp or fibroid that calcified. Hysteroscopy and biopsy of the lesion could be helpful. Old lesions would appear this way, but checking to be sure could be helpful.

Question 8

i just found out that i have 3.62.4 cm cystic lesion on the left adnexa is stable and a 1.4 cm calcification un the left adnexa the uterus us gone there is no fluid in the pelvis area what does that all mean im type 2 also should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Possible answers: Its most likely a stable ovarian cystic tumor (benign), though calcifications can be associated with teratomas (also benign).  Teratomas do tend to get bigger.  The calcification could also be to past surgery.  I'm assuming a CA-125 was done and probably an MRI would have more luck defining this cyst if really concerned.

Question 9

i've spotted since oct '14 i have strip of uterus filled with tiny fibroids showing on ultrasounds, but ct scan says there is no calcification. ?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: is  more sensitive at detecting small noncalcified fibroids than CT, and it is very common to see small fibroids on ultrasound, which are not visible on CT.  When fibroids calcify they are easy to see on CT.  But many fibroids, particularly small ones, have no calcification.

Question 10

did a sonography of usg pelvis. results showed 3 fibroids & 1 polyp,  retroverted uterus & calcification of 1 fibroid.diagnosis? hi.sonography of usg pelvis showed: normal bladder, but retroverted uterus(106x73x59mm). endometiral echo seen in midline(10.7

Accepted Answer

You : You haven't indicated what symptoms lead to the ultrasound, but i'm guessing it was abnormal bleeding.  That's a common complication of endometrial polyps, which are benign growths on the lining of the uterus.  They are usually addressed by removal though the vagina.

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of uterine muscle that can cause bleeding, pain, or pelvic/abdominal fullness.  The fact that one of them has calcium in it means that it's started to regress spontaneously.  Treatment of fibroids depends on a lot of things, including the severity of symptoms, patient age, and plans for future fertility.  Treatment can range from waiting for menopause to doing a hysterectomy.

The polyp may be causing you some bleeding and the fibroids may be causing you some discomfort, but t good news is that the findings suggested by the ultrasound are benign.
