When performing an ultrasound examination, the ultrasound report may sometimes describe uneven echoes, which is a description of the occurrence of lesions in a certain organ during the examination. So what does ultrasound echo non-uniformity refer to?
The ultrasound examination sheet shows uneven echo, depending on which specific part of the echo is uneven. The area frequently examined by B-ultrasound is the uterus, including the uterine muscle layer and endometrium, which are indicators that need to be measured by B-ultrasound.
If the echo of the uterine muscle layer is uneven, it may indicate that the woman has uterine fibroids or adenomyosis. Especially uterine fibroids, they may present as multiple uneven echoes within the uterine muscle layer, often low echoes, with some obvious boundaries. If it is adenomyosis, there will be a disconnected echo in the uterine muscle layer without a clear boundary.
If the echo of the endometrium is uneven, then it is important to observe whether there is a risk of endometrial polyps, endometrial hyperplasia, or endometrial cancer. Women who have undergone abortion and curettage surgery may also suffer from endometritis if the surgery is not cleaned thoroughly or if they do not receive proper care after the operation, which can cause significant physical and mental harm to women. If the echo of the endometrium is found to be uneven, a follow-up examination should be conducted, and if necessary, drug-induced curettage can be given. After vaginal withdrawal and bleeding, a follow-up ultrasound examination should be performed.
