Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Normally uterus is homogeneous in echo texture.
Your uterus is heterogeneous in echo texture and it is due to adenomyosis which is characterized by the presence of ectopic glandular tissue with in the uterine muscles.
There is also small fibroid in your uterus measuring 16mm in posterior region.
Fibroid uterus is a benign condition.
Treatment of both conditions 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
