A member asked:

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

"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.

Probably normal: Heterogeneous uterine enhancement on CT scan can indicate normal variation of uterine tissue or increased blood flow, or presence of adenomyosis or other issues. It is essentially a benign (not important) finding unless the patient is also having other symptoms related to their uterus such as very heavy menses, very painful menses, pelvic pain, etc.
