Question 1

should i be concerned i cant find a obgyn to take my insurance the results is from the er expanded, heterogeneous cervix with associated hypodensity. mildly heterogeneous appearance of uterus. right adnexal/ovarian 4.2 cm cyst?

Accepted Answer

: I assume you must be having some lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort because an ultrasound was ordered for you in the ER. If you're experiencing abnormal vaginal bleeding or pelvic discomfort and have an ovarian cyst, A gynecologist should be involved in your care&amp; follow-up. I suggest calling the social service at your local hospital to get help in finding a gynecologist who takes your insurance

Question 2

a ct scan showed "mildly heterogeneous uterine enhancement." my obgyn said this only meant i have a "gray" uterus, is that accurate?

Accepted Answer

"Gray" uterus?: I did not know that an "aging" uterus would have a  "gray" designation. Heterogeneous uterine enhancement is usually noted in patients who have a condition called adenomyosis where there is glandular development interdigitating like fingers into the smooth muscle fibers of the uterus.  You need to ask your OBGYN if that is indeed the case or not.

Question 3

uterus normal is size, mildly heterogenous.  right ovary normal in size with 1.1cm anechoic dominant follicle with enhanced through-transmission.mean?

Accepted Answer

Verbiage: This is all just radiology talk - I guess you are reading a report of a pelvic ultrasound? These findings are all normal in most cases - it doesn't mean anything, it's language to describe what the radiologist sees on the images.

Question 4

what does heterogeneous appearing uterus mean?

Accepted Answer

Heterogeneous uterus: Heterogenous uterus is a medically sonographic terminology. It says how your uterus look under sonographic waves. That is not a pathology in itself.

Question 5

what is heterogeneous illdefined lesion on the uterus mean?

Accepted Answer

: In this situation your ordering physician should sit down with the interpreting radiologist &amp; obtain a differential diagnosis of conditions that cause this finding, find out if there are other imaging studies or tests that would shed more light, what consultants, such as a gynecological surgeon, who would be helpful in the workup.

Question 6

uterus is empty and anreverted. it is slightly bluky and measures 66  56  60 mm. the uterus shows an irregular outline and a heterogeneous echopatt?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with gyn: your GYN should go over these results and implications with you. Your US may suggest adenomyosis, but there are other clinical and sonographic findings to confirm that. discuss with your GYN for further information

Question 7

what does a heterogeneous echotexture uterus mean?

Accepted Answer

Two reasons: "The two most common causes of heterogenous uterus are uterine fibroids, which are benign muscular growths in the uterine wall, and adenomyosis, which is a proliferation of the normal uterine glands into the muscular wall of the uterus. These conditions are very common, affecting up to maybe 50% of women by middle age."

Question 8

my ultratstates that i have a heterogeneous well circumscribed mass mid to upper uterus what's does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Mass on CT: You have a bump from something on your upper uterus. Discuss with the Dr. who ordered the test.

Question 9

what does the uterus is anteverted and in position measuring 9.2x6x5 cm  . the uterus is regular and contour and heterogeneous in echogenicity mean ?

Accepted Answer

Anteversion just : Means tilt (normal) and the size of the uterus is normal. Heterogeneity is a nonspecific term that means not all of the uterus looks the same. The report should indicate what (if any) significance there is to this finding. Uterine heterogeneity can be seen with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis (both of which can be associated with pelvic pain and other symptoms).

Question 10

my uterus is heterogeneous and anteverted. 7.4cmx5.1 cmx3.3cm. thickness 3mm. heterogeneous myometrium without discrete abnormality. what's this mean?

Accepted Answer

Uterus: Really, if you are unsure, you should ask your gynecologist.  Obviously there was some reason that imaging was ordered.  Having said that, this could be a picture of a benign condition called adenomyosis, which is a condition of the uterus that can cause heavy periods, pelvic pain and can cause  this picture on ultrasound.   But I would really need to see the picture.
