Question 1

what could i do to get my uterus back to normal they say i have enlargement uterus?

Accepted Answer

Fibroids: Hi!
the most common reason for a uterus to be enlarged is either adenomyosis or fibroids.  Both are non-cancerous conditions that are very common and can develop with age and child bearing.  The only way to get rid of these conditions is surgery.
There are some medications that might shrink your uterus temporarily, depending upon how large it is and why.
Be sure to follow up with your doctor!

Question 4

what does it mean to have an enlarged uterus?

Accepted Answer

Various things: To give a good answer, more information is needed. For example, pregnancy is a cause of an enlarged uterus;however i will assume this is in the setting of being nonpregnant. The uterus can be larger because of noncancerous growths like fibroids or endometriosis, cancer, or a thicker lining from hormone irregularities. Some people can just have a larger uterus than "normal". Hope this helps some.

Accepted Answer

Endometrium: If the ultrasound exam truly measured the lining of the uterus to be "16 mm", in a case where enlargement of the uterus is already established, a biopsy of the lining is indicated.  You have not mentioned your age, but this kind of actual endometrial thickening needs attention.
