How To Interpret Pelvic Scan To Identify Chances Of Infertility?
Hi doc., I have been trying about a year to get pregnant with no success. I was experiencing LAP about a week ago so my gynae asked that I do a pelvic scan. Now am worried because of the report - "the uterus is anteverted, enlarged, measures (12.54x8.12x6.13)cm and has inhomogeneous echopattern due to multiple intramural uterine fibroids (at least 4 nodules noted) the largest nodule has a diameter of about 2.32cm and fundally located. Both ad exam and P.O.D are normal and urinary bladder is also normal'. My question is can this cause infertility?
Yes,fibroiduterus can cause infertility.However other causes of infertility should also be ruled out. Treatment of fibroid uterus is both conservative and surgical depending upon many things like age,family is completed or not,symptoms etc. Rest of the findings are normal. You should consult your gynecologist. Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
