Ultrasound Report---Here It Is

[Guest guest]

I had the transabdominal combined with transvaginal ultrasound, and

here is the text of the report:

" The uterus measures 15.9 x 8.4 x 10.1 cm. There are multiple

fibroids measuring up to 7.3 cm size. The endometrial stripe is

mostly obscured by hyperechoic fibroid tissue and cannot be

evaluated. The right ovary is not seen. The left ovaries measure 2.9

x 2.6 x 2.0 cm. No adnexal mass or free fluid. "

Lab results: hemoglobin---9.6 and hematocrit---30.5

That's it. Any comments? (Not sure I understand the comments about

the endometrial stripe and right ovary---just assume that they

couldn't get a good view of them, so there is nothing to say, good or

bad?)

Compared to some of the reports I've read here, this doesn't seem

that bad. Yet my doctor's office called me again today, saying that

they are going to try to get the GYN to see me as soon as possible.

They say the main reason is because I'm " so anemic, " but the results

above don't seem as bad as many of you have reported. I have not

been back to the doctor often---once three years ago and once two

years ago, but on each occasion I have been anemic and no one has

been this concerned. I have been bleeding for about a month, and I

do have heavy periods with clots, but the bleeding has now stopped

with the use of Promethium.

I'm divided between relief that the report is no worse than it is and

feeling like a hypochondriac for thinking I have been feeling so bad

for so long--extremely tired, cramping and backaches, and hugely

distended upper abdomen, in addition to some problems with stress

incontinence. This report doesn't seem that bad, which makes me

think I'm just being a wimp.
