Doctor insights on: Shadow On My Uterus What Could It Be

Abnormal: That something is interfering with the normal flow of dye into your uterus, like a fibroid, polyp, uterine septum/anomaly or scar tissue. A hysteroscopy or saline ultrasound can help figure this out for you. ...Read more

Shadowing: Is an ultrasound term often seen behind calcification and some solid masses as a result of sound wave reflection. I don't know if this is what you are referring too. If used in some other context the term doesn't convey useful information. ...Read more

Not too bad: Not too bad risk. The most repeat scan in three month after period make sure not grow bigger. ...Read more

Possible PCOS: If you are going a long time between periods, more than 35 days, you may not be ovulating every month. This can be a sign of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Your gyn can perform some blood tests and possibly a sonogram to confirm this. When you've gone a long time between periods, it is not unusual for them to last longer and/or be heavier. Good luck. ...Read more

Possible UTI: If you are having kidney pain and pain in the pelvic area, it could be bladder pain instead of uterus pain. You need to see a physician to sort this out and get your urine tested to rule out urinary tract infection. If the pain is coming from your uterus then you would need a pelvic exam to determine the cause of that pain. ...Read more

Cysts in Uterus: A condition called "adenomyosis" can cause cystic changes in the uterine lining and smooth muscle, and is basically a cause for excess bleeding and cramping with one's periods. It resembles endometriosis in that it is caused by invasion of the uterine muscle by endometrial tissue, and is a frequent cause for hysterectomy. See your gyn provider for advice and treatment. ...Read more

A polyp or fibroid: These conditions are both be ign

Uterine vibration???: That's a new one to me. It is often difficult to isolate the source of a sensation in the abdominal area, and a vibration sensation in the lower mid abdomen could be from bowel, bladder or uterus, etc. A fetus that is moving will cause a slight tapping motion, and if you are worried about that, please do a pregnancy test. If the sensation is not painful and not constant, OK to give it some time ...Read more

Makes no sense: Get the exact wording from the CT scan report ...Read more

Typicall normal: A small amount of free pelvic fluid is typically physiologic, related to menstrual cycle/ovulation. There are other causes of abnormal pelvic fluid but they are less likely. Please follow up with your doctor. ...Read more

Ovarian cyst?: If you are not sexually active, you may have an ovarian cyst. To be sure, if the pain continues, see a Provider and check it out! ...Read more

Pregnancy problem: Usually women begin feeling their baby move at 16-18 weeks with second and subsequent babies. First time pregnant women usually start having that at 18-20 weeks. At 14 weeks a lot of women believe they feel their babies but most of it is probably overreaction to the fact of being pregnant. Pregnant uterus is known to contract occasionally even early in the pregnancy. Your "tapping" may be that. ...Read more

Bleeding while preg: It's unclear when the bleeding is coming from. You need a Gyn exam. Possibly there is a vaginal source of the blood. ...Read more

Hernia: You have an umbilical hernia. If you have poor abdominal muscles, have been gaining weight and possibly heavy lifting or straining, the belly button will "pop out" ...Read more

Hello. : Hello. This is being answered by a psychiatrist. I am not sure, but I believe that what is being called water in the uterus may well be a fluid build up in your endometrium (lining of uterus). I would call your doctor's office to get more information. I am assuming by the way that this is written that you are not pregnant. If you are, that is a different matter. Sometimes this can be caused my infection. Sometimes it can be caused by malignancy. Your doctor should be able to give you a better idea in the context of your medical history. If there is concern, your doctor could do an enodometrial biopsy. Take care. ...Read more

Non-specific: Your symptoms are non-specific. You could have an infection in the uterus or bladder, an ovarian cyst, bowel gas or something else. If the symptoms persist, you should have them checked out. Best wishes! ...Read more

Infection or growth: If you have not had pain in your uterus before, you should consult your gyn. Infeciton is a common cause of pain and can be easily treated with antibiotics. You may have a polyp for fibroid inside the lining or fibroids within the uterus, it is rare to develop endometriosis at 44. Also, you could be pregnant. ...Read more

Could be from many: Different causes, could be fibroids, or adenomyosis, or endometriosis, could be infection, or non uterine causes like the bladder which is located in front of the uterus or bowel problems, please see a gyn as you will need an exam and a pelvic ultrasound can be done to look at the uterus and tubes and ovaries ...Read more

Hard to say: If your doctor tried to get a sample of the endometrium (an endometrial biopsy) in the office, and wasn't able to (possibly because the cervix is too tightly closed; or because it caused too much pain; which are the 2 main reasons I can think of), then doing a hysteroscopy under anesthesia can often allow the cervix to be safely dilated and the sample to be obtained. If cvx was closed: misoprostol. ...Read more

Several things: May be the cervix was narrow so could not get biopsy instrument in. Could be you had pain so could not complete the procedure. Or could be the uterine lining was thin so nothing there to really sample. ...Read more

Ectopic preg./PID.: There are many possibilities, but two of the most important are ectopic pregnancy, and pid or pelvic inflammatory disease. Ectopic pregnancy must be ruled out in cases of uterine/pelvic pain, and is due to a fertilized ovum developing in a fallopian tube. This is an emergency. Pid is also possible, but is more chronic, and can result in infertility. Please see your doctor soon to find out. ...Read more

Several things: You need to have an examination by your physician personally to see what's wrong. ...Read more

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!
Dr b. ...Read more

Can you be: More specific? There is no "shrinking uterus" condition — what seems to be happening to you? Good wishes. ...Read more

Unclear: I've never heard a patient describe this, so I can't really say what you're referring to. Maybe consider rephrase the question using a different and more specific description. ...Read more

Can't say: But 100% it's not implantation, you cannot feel that. If its worrying you see a doctor, otherwise you can probably wait a while to see. ...Read more

Natural: It's both natural and normal. Roughly 10% of normal women have a retroverted uterus, it's not an abnormality. Any source that tells you so is woefully out-of-date. ...Read more

Depends: A retroverted uterus just means the position of the uterus is tilted back towards the rectum. This is not abnormal. Bulky usually means the uterus is enlarged. The most common reasons are fibroids and adenomyosis. Both are benign conditions but if symptoms are bad treatment can be considered. ...Read more

Uterine or ovarian: It can be caused by something in the uterus itself growing like a fibroid or a large ovarian or bladder cyst weighing in on the uterus or pelvis. ...Read more

This is how...: The expected coagulated semen will liquefy itself within 15-30 minutes after ejaculation so to allow active mobile sperms to swim up and through cervical canal into uterine cavity, then going to fallopian tube... Competitively striking the awaiting egg to complete their destined mission of fertilization, but only a lucky one gets such job done. ...Read more
