Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. In the report it is mentioned that the liver is enlarged in size and measures 22 cm. The usual size is less than 15 cm. The fat content in liver is increased. Most people have this condition from obesity or due to fat deposition from many causes. This probably requires to be discussed with your doctor.

2. You also have a fibroid in uterus. This is a benign slow growing tumor. If it is 6 cm in size then a detailed clinical assessment of your gynecological symptoms is to be done and treated.

3. In conclusion, there is no serious problem in the abdomen from what is mentioned in the report. The findings described are benign and potentially harmless in nature.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
