The pelvic ultrasound shows a normally placed uterus with thickened myometrium. Thickened myometrium can be due to fibroids in posterior myometrium. I suggest you to consult your gynecologist for further management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
