Fibroids are a common condition among women,but not all fibroids are the same. Some are larger, some are smaller, and some have different appearances on ultrasound. One type of fibroid that is especially concerning is the hypoechoic fibroid.
What is a Hypoechoic Fibroid? A hypoechoic fibroid is a type of fibroid that appears dark or black on an ultrasound. This can be concerning because it can sometimes indicate that the fibroid has become necrotic, meaning that the tissue inside has died. This can cause a range of symptoms, from pain and discomfort to heavy bleeding.
Symptoms of a Hypoechoic Fibroid
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Urinary frequency or urgency
- Constipation or bloating
Diagnosis of a Hypoechoic Fibroid If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to talk to your doctor. They may perform a pelvic exam, ultrasound, or MRI to determine if you have a hypoechoic fibroid. If you are diagnosed with a hypoechoic fibroid, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible to prevent further complications.
Treatment Options for a Hypoechoic Fibroid There are a range of treatment options for a hypoechoic fibroid, including:
- Medications: Hormonal birth control or medication to manage heavy bleeding can help control symptoms of a hypoechoic fibroid.
- Surgery: Depending on the size and location of the fibroid, surgical options may include a hysterectomy or myomectomy.
- Uterine artery embolization (UAE): This is a minimally invasive procedure
