i want to know if i could get a second opinion on my test results that say there is a heterogeneous lesion in the right side?

Accepted Answer

: We would not be able to look at your test results on this part of HealthTap where we answer medical questions for free. But, you could make an appointment with a primary care doctor on HealthTap and they could look at your test results. This is not free. You could also get a second opinion from a doctor in person. Best of luck to you!!

Question 2

is a heterogeneous myometrium abnormal?

Accepted Answer

: Your question is unclear. What do you mean by heterogeneous myometrium? By some measures, normal myometrium is heterogeneous due to criss-crossing of muscle fibres.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines.

Question 3

what exactly does it mean to have a heterogenous area on your cyst?

Accepted Answer

See below: This depends on what cyst and in what organ. Usually, though, a heterogenous area in a cyst may mean a solid nodule component, an area of debris containing proteinaceous or hemorrhagic materials, or septations. This is a nonspecific description and more information would be helpful.

Question 4

what does it mean to have a myometrium is heterogeneous demonstrates without a focal lesion?

Accepted Answer

Heterogeneous: Heterogeneous myometrium means that the texture of the myometrium is not the same across the length of it. It is probably OK if no discrete lesion is seen. If there are symptoms that cannot be explained by it, it may be reasonable to have a follow up ultrasound in 3 months to see if there has been a change in the appearance.

Question 5

what does  supraspinatous: appears thickened and heterogenous with enthesopathic changes at the footprint mean?

Accepted Answer

: You have thickening and scar formation within the supraspinatous tendon at its insertion most likely reflects present or previous inflammation and possible tendon injury

Question 6

heterogeneous liver, what is this?

Accepted Answer

On ultrasound?: this is a common ultrasound finding, echogenic or heterogenous liver - meaning not all of liver tissue looks exactly the same. typically cause is some degree of inflammation - from fat in liver or other causes of hepatitis?  i'd talk to your doc, whoever ordered the test.

Question 7

what causes a heterogeneous testicle?

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound: Assuming you're referring to something you saw on an ultrasound report, this can be from a variety of causes but most significantly it can be due to testicular cancer and therefore should be followed closely by a urologist.

Question 8

what does heterogenous in signal on an mri mean?

Accepted Answer

Not the same: Homogenous means the appearance is all the same, like a bowl of milk is all white or charcoal is all black. Heterogenous means the appearance is different like salt and pepper.

Question 9

12x10x9mm heterogeneous nodule isoechoic

what is that?

Accepted Answer

A growth: I assume this is a thyroid nodule which basically mean you have a growth on the thyroid.  It's very common and not a cause for concern as long as you follow it again in the future to make sure if it's not growing.  Biopsy of the nodule will help determine if it's benign or cancerous.  The risk of cancer is very low, approx 5%.

Question 10

what does a myometrium of heterogeneous echo pattern mean?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing: This is simply describing the echos of the soundwaves used fro the ultrasound.  It generally has no clinical significance.  Some radiologists believe this may suggest adenomyosis, but the association is very poor.
