I had an ultra sound done to see why my periods were so heavy. I got the results back yesterday but haven't talked to my doctor yet. Does anyone know what this means?

1. Left adnexal cyst (3.9 cm in maximal dimension)
2. Submucosal leiomyoma (1.4 cm in greastest dimension)
3. Small anechoic right ovarian cyst.

Thank You

Bernice

You really should talk to your Dr before worrying. Alot, actually most cysts are "functional" meaning that they come and go with your cycles. I have cysts as well, but they don't want to remove them or anything.

Submucosal Fibroids

These are just under the lining of the uterus. These are the least common fibroids, but they tend to cause the most problems. Even a very small submucosal fibroid can cause heavy bleeding - gushing, very heavy and prolonged periods. this is what a submucosal leiomyoma is. a fibroid.
