Hi There,
that is an abnormal ultrasound.
first of all
if the lining of the uterus is 15 cm that is quite large. 15 mm would still be large. This would require an evaluation with a biopsy of the lining.

The other structures in the uterus are probably fibroids.
the ovarian findings might be fibroids or endometriomas

I would recommend an MRI to better evaluate where the masses are coming from
and a Dilation and Curettage (D&C).
best wishes
