Question

details Uterus:retroverted enlarged and 8.8X5.1X5.3cms with normal myometrial and endometrial echos.The endometrial lining appears laminar with thickness of 0.9cms .No myometiral mass or endometrial collection seen.The cervix shows a few nabotian cysts.
Ovaries: Bothe ovaries are normal in size.,with multiple developing follicles.

6months back she did scanning , the Doctor said she is having febroids and to remove uterus.she is aneamic..But now improved and hb count is 10.43.
Kindly help me by giving a reply,
thanks,farhad

Answer 1

Adnexal means pertaining to accessory organs or tissues as in the relationship of the fallopian tubes and the uterus. Varices are varicose veins or arteries. So it may mean that the left fallopian tube had a few varicose veins. It's not "nabotian", it's nabothian cysts. These are common in women of reproductive age, especially in those who have had children. The pathology report doesn't sound alarming to me. It sounds good. Her hemoglobin's a little low but that's nothing that iron supplements can't correct.

If you are truly concerned, and I don't really see anything to be concerned about, you should be sitting, right now, with her doctor asking these questions. Don't you agree that person is your very best source of information about your wife's reproductive health?

Answer 4

Adnexal Varices

Answer 5

Literally it means some dilated vein or lymphatic vessels in the accessory structures. This could be due to flow problems and can be diagnosed with venography. With current interventional techniques, these varices can be readily and safely occluded or sclerosed using a variety of techniques.

Answer 6

No, but saying you were doing the boss's wife is pretty legit.

lemme talk about each one by one......i m here to help u so i m telling u what i know....the best thing wud be to cosult a gynaecologist ...i m jus a dentist.....
lemme start now...
6 months back...from the scanning report ur doc diagnosed Uterine fibroids.they are tumors or growths, made up of muscle cells and other tissues that grow within the wall of the uterus (or womb). Although fibroids are sometimes called tumors, they are almost always benign (not cancerous). The medical term for fibroids is uterine leiomyomata (you-ter-in lie-oh-my-oh-mah-tah). Fibroids can grow as a single growth or in clusters (or groups). Their size can vary from small, like an apple seed (or less than one inch), to even larger than a grapefruit, or eight inches across or more.

Most fibroids do not cause any symptoms, but some women with fibroids can have:

heavy bleeding or painful periods

bleeding between periods

feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower abdomen)

urinating often

pain during sex

lower back pain

reproductive problems, such as infertility, having more than one miscarriage, or having early onset of labor during pregnancy

Talk with your doctor about the best way to treat your fibroids. She or he will consider a number of things before helping you choose a treatment. Some of these things include:

whether or not you are having symptoms from the fibroids
if you might want to become pregnant
the size of the fibroids
the location of the fibroids
your age
If you have fibroids, but do not have any symptoms, you may not need any treatment. But your doctor will check during your regular exams to see if they have grown.

Medications
If you have fibroids and have mild symptoms, your doctor might only suggest pain medication. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, or other painkillers such as acetaminophen can be used for mild pain. If pain becomes worse, your doctor can prescribe a stronger painkiller.

Other drugs used to treat fibroids are called gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa). These drugs can decrease the size of the fibroids. Sometimes they are used before surgery, to shrink the fibroids, making them easier to remove. Side effects can include hot flushes, depression, not being able to sleep, decreased sex drive, and joint pain. Anti-hormonal agents, such as a drug called mifepristone, also can stop or slow the growth of fibroids. These drugs only offer temporary relief from the symptoms of fibroids; once you stop the therapy, the fibroids often grow back.

Surgery
If you have fibroids with moderate or severe symptoms, surgery may be the best way to treat them. Here are the options:

Myomectomy - a surgery to remove fibroids without taking out the healthy tissue of the uterus. There are many ways a surgeon can perform this procedure. It can be major surgery (with an abdominal incision) or minor surgery. The type, size, and location of the fibroids will determine what type of procedure will be done. Talk with your doctor about the different types of this surgery.
Hysterectomy - a surgery to remove the uterus. This surgery is the only sure way to cure uterine fibroids. This surgery is used when a woman's fibroids are large, or if she has heavy bleeding, and is either near or past menopause and does not want children. There are various types of hysterectomy that differ in how invasive they are. Sometimes, if the fibroids are large, a woman might need a hysterectomy that involves cutting into the abdomen to remove the uterus. If the fibroids are smaller, the surgeon might be able to reach the uterus through the vagina, instead of making a cut in the abdomen.
Endometrial ablation – the endometrial lining of the uterus is destroyed. This surgery controls very heavy bleeding, but afterwards a woman cannot have children.
Myolysis – a procedure in which an electrical needle is inserted into the uterus through a small incision in the abdomen to destroy the blood vessels feeding the fibroids.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) is a treatment that cuts off the blood supply to the uterus and the fibroids so they shrink. UFE is proving to be an alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy. The recovery time is also shorter, and there is a much lower risk of needing a blood transfusion than for these surgeries. Many women can have UFE and go home the same day. There is a small risk of infection in the treated fibroid, but these are usually managed with antibiotics. Recent studies also suggest that most fibroid tumors are not likely to re-grow after UFE, although more long-term data is needed.

Not all fibroids can be treated with UFE. All patients must first be evaluated with ultrasound or MRI to make sure the fibroids will respond well to this treatment. Doctors called interventional radiologists perform UFE. The best candidates for UFE are women who:

have fibroid tumors that are causing heavy bleeding
have fibroid tumors that are causing pain or pressing on the bladder or rectum
don’t want to have a hysterectomy
don’t want to have more children
Sometimes after UFE, the particles that are put into the fibroids to cut off their blood supply have traveled to the ovaries. In a few women, the ovaries then stop working for a short time or permanently. Although researchers know that UFE may affect how ovaries function, they are unsure of how exactly UFE affects fertility. If you want to have children in the future, you should talk with your doctors about the small, but definite risk of UFE causing you to go into early menopause. Too few women have gotten pregnant after UFE for researchers to know if there is an increased risk of pregnancy complications.

ExAblate® 2000 System
ExAblate® 2000 is a medical device that uses magnetic resonance image guided focused ultrasound to target and destroy uterine fibroids. The device is intended to treat women who have completed child bearing or do not intend to become pregnant. ExAblate® 2000 is non-invasive surgery. It spares the uterus and is an alternative to myomectomy, hysterectomy, watchful waiting, hormone therapy, or uterine fibroid embolization.

ExAblate combines two systems – a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine to visualize patient anatomy, map the volume of fibroid tissue to be treated, and monitor the temperature of the uterine tissue after heating, and a focused ultrasound beam that heats and destroys the fibroid tissue using high frequency, high-energy sound waves.

The treatment requires repeated targeting and heating of fibroid tissue while the patient lies inside the MRI machine. The procedure can last as long as three hours.

The new device can be used to treat some – but not all – fibroids. Fibroids close to sensitive organs such as the bowel or bladder and those outside the image area cannot be treated.


COMING TO THE PRESENT REPORT..I MEAN THE RECENT ONE---IT SAYS.....
RETROVERTED ENLARGED UTERUS---A retroverted uterus is the name given to a uterus that is tilted backwards inside of the pelvis. Normally, women are born with a uterus that is located in a straight up and down position inside of the pelvis, or with a uterus that tips slightly forwards, towards the stomach. However, some women have a uterus that tilts backwards, pointing towards the spine. Commonly referred to as a tipped uterus, this condition affects more than 20% of women worldwide. Generally associated with no health complications, a retroverted uterus can occasionally cause painful symptoms or signal an underlying health disorder.

Generally, the majority of women suffering from a retroverted uterus experience no symptoms. However, if symptoms do present, the two most commonly-occurring symptoms include:


pain during sexual intercourse, particularly vaginal intercourse (dyspareunia)
pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea)

This pain and discomfort is the result of pressure that the retroverted uterus places on the rectum and the ligaments around the tailbone.

Rare symptoms associated with a retroverted uterus include:


lower back pain
increased number of urinary tract infections
incontinence
pain while using tampons
fertility difficulties

If your retroverted uterus is causing you a lot of pain or discomfort, you may want to consider treatment for the condition. Treatment options include:


Exercises: Women can perform knee-to-chest exercise in order to encourage the uterus to slip back into its proper place. Unfortunately, this tends to be a temporary solution for the problem.
Pessaries: A pessary is a plastic device that is worn inside of the vagina. It helps to support the uterus in the proper position. However, these devices can only be worn in the short term because of the risk for developing a vaginal infection.
Surgery: Surgery for a retroverted uterus is available. Known as the UPLIFT procedure, this procedure works to reposition the uterus by cutting and shortening the ligaments that support it. UPLIFT is a laparoscopic surgery that is performed with the aid of a small camera....

NABOTHIAN CYSTS----Nabothian cysts are cysts on the cervix, not the ovaries, caused by blockage of cervical glands. They are completely benign. If you do have cysts on your ovaries, they may be follicles, called functional cysts, which form with ovulation and come and go. If you have an ovarian cyst that persists and grows, and is not suppressed by oral contraceptives, then it is not a functional cyst. There are many possibilities for what these cysts are, ranging from benign causes like endometriosis all the way to ovarian cancer.
You need to discuss the exact characteristics of these cysts with your gynecologist. She or he should let you know if they are simple (filled with clear fluid) or complex (partly fluid-filled and partly solid, or with debris within the cyst, or with multiple compartments). A relatively small simple cyst may only need to be observed, but complex cysts, especially if they are growing, often need to be removed.

NOW UR FINAL QUESTION----FEW LEFT ADNEXAL VARICES----varice is an enlared or twisted vein.....they cause pain......

i hope my info helped u to some extent....take care.....
