Ok thank you for your reply going back to see my gp in 2 weeks for follow up as it is not my urologists field so gp maybe refer me to the gyn doc. x
Hi!
If a patient of my own had a scan with similar results, I would reassure her that fibroids are very common--they affect 50-70% of women. Also, three centimeters is relatively small. When fibroids are found incidentally, they are usually just followed conservatively--in other words, you might want to do another scan in 6-12 months to be certain that the fibroid hasn't changed in any way. One more comment, it is also very common for one of the ovaries to not be visualized on an ultrasound, and this is not worriesome either.
Good luck!
Dr B
