How are uterine fibroids diagnosed?

Diagnosing uterine fibroids typically begins with a pelvic exam. During the exam, a healthcare provider can often detect an enlarged or irregularly shaped uterus, which may indicate fibroids. Imaging tests confirm the diagnosis and provide more detailed information on size, number, and location.

  • Ultrasound: A transvaginal or abdominal ultrasound is often the first imaging technique used to detect fibroids. It uses sound waves to create images of the uterus and can identify fibroids as solid masses.
  • MRI: An MRI scan offers a more detailed view of fibroids, making it useful for complex cases, especially for planning surgical interventions.
  • Hysteroscopy: In some cases, a doctor may use a hysteroscope to view the uterine cavity directly. This can be particularly helpful if fibroids are suspected inside the uterine cavity.

Blood tests might also be performed to check for anemia due to heavy menstrual bleeding. Early diagnosis is key to managing symptoms effectively and exploring treatment options.
