Uterine fibroids affect up to 80% of women by the age of 50 and can cause debilitating symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and fertility challenges. The Sonata ® Procedure utilizes ultrasound-guided RF ablation to target and treat fibroids from within the uterus, without the need for incisions.
Diagnosis with transvaginal ultrasonography can potentially be challenging due to the similar appearance of uterine leiomyomas (also known as uterine fibroids). Careful evaluation of the margins of the mass, the vascular flow patterns through the tumor, and the degree to which the tumor distorts the uterus may aid in differentiating these ...
Fifty percent of uterine fibroids demonstrate a genetic abnormality. Often a translocation is found on some chromosomes. [7] Fibroids are partly genetic. If a mother had fibroids, risk in the daughter is about three times higher than average. [14] Black women have a 3–9 times increased chance of developing uterine fibroids than white women. [15]
ovarian fibroma in ultrasound Ovarian tumors by incidence and risk of ovarian cancer, with fibroma at right. [2] Diagnosis is usually made by ultrasonography showing a solid ovarian lesion, or, on some occasions, mixed tumors with solid and cystic components. [1] Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can also be used to diagnose ...
A leiomyoma, also known as a fibroid, is a benign smooth muscle tumor that very rarely becomes cancer (0.1%). They can occur in any organ, but the most common forms occur in the uterus, small bowel, and the esophagus. Polycythemia may occur due to increased erythropoietin production as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome.
Endometrial polyps can be detected by vaginal ultrasound (sonohysterography), hysteroscopy and dilation and curettage. [3] Detection by ultrasonography can be difficult, particularly when there is endometrial hyperplasia (excessive thickening of the endometrium). [2] Larger polyps may be missed by curettage. [10]
Abnormal uterine bleeding in the reproductive years comprises a complex set of disorders that include abnormalities in endocrine, endometrial and hemostatic function and a number of structural anomalies that include polyps, adenomyosis and leiomyomas or fibroids.
An Ohio man allegedly slammed a 15-month-old girl on the floor after she wouldn’t stop crying, fracturing her skull. Two weeks later, she died of her injuries.
