Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Firoids are non cancerous growths of the uterus. They are formed within the wall of the uterus itself or attach to it.
They vary in size.

Your ultrasound indicates that the fibroid found was small and calcified. Calcified means that it has in deposits of calcium.

A cyst greater than 2.5 in is generally considered large. Your cyst is smaller than this.
Some cysts resolve on their own.

Free fluid is fluid that should not be present. The absence of free fluid is good.

Diverticular disease refers to out pockets in the intestinal wall. It is common as people as they age.
It is treated mainly with a high fiber diet.

I hope this helps
