Hello, welcome to HCM,
Firstly, your sonogram report indicates increased thickness of uterus. In this age group it is alarming. Now, hypoechoic lesions in ovary and a subserosal fibroid may occur.
But keeping the age in mind, you must have to go for total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoophorectomy.
It is the only way to rule out any abnormality.
