What Does The Myometrium Is Markedly Heterogeneous With Increased Vascularity Mean?

Hi I recently had a pelvic sonogram which indicated: 1. There are at least 8 to 10 subcentimeter follicles within the right ovary. 2. The myometrium is markedly heterogeneous with increased vascularity on color flow imaging as well as tiny cystic areas consistent with adenomyosis. What does this mean?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

According to reports there are at least 8-10 follicles in right ovary measuring less than 1cm.
Your uterus is heterogeneous in echo texture with increased vascularity and most likely it is due to adenomyosis which is characterized by the presence of ectopic glandular tissue with in the uterine muscles.
Treatment of adenomyosis depend upon many things like age,family is completed or not,symptoms etc.
Most of the cases are managed by medicines whereas surgery is need in some cases.
Adenomyosis can be managed by NSAIDS,hormone therapy etc.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
