To confirm a fibroids diagnosis, precise tests can be done, including:
- Hysteroscopy
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging
- Sonohysterography
- Transvaginal ultrasound
HYSTEROSCOPY
A procedure for examining submucosal fibroids through a small, thin telescope-like device. The hysteroscope is inserted into the womb through the cervix to search for fibroids.
MRI
In order to precisely map the location of fibroids, a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) session is sometimes used in cases where non-surgical detection is not an option.
SONOHYSTEROGRAPHY
Fluid is injected into the uterus which assists the ultrasound imaging process.
ULTRASOUND SCAN
This is a scan that uses a probe to produce high frequency sound waves to create an image of the inside of your body. Approaches can be an abdominal ultrasound scan, where the ultrasound probe is moved over the outside of your tummy and a transvaginal ultrasound scan, where a small ultrasound probe is inserted into your vagina.
