Question 1

My aunt is 49 and has a bulky uterus measuring 17138 cm with multiple fibroids, the largest being 70mm. She's on medications but doesn't have excessive bleeding, pain, or other symptoms. How serious is this does she need surgery or can she keep managing with meds until menopause?

Accepted Answer

A 70mm fibroid in a bulky uterus (17138 cm, which seems to be a typo and is likely a measurement in a different unit, perhaps 171.38 cm) in a 49-year-old woman can be managed with medication if there are no symptoms or significant complications, especially as she approaches menopause. Surgery may be considered if symptoms worsen, if the fibroid grows rapidly, or if it causes complications like infertility or pelvic organ compression

Question 2

Can a baby hide on an ultrasound?

Accepted Answer

No. In the early weeks, up to eight, and rarely nine, the baby may not be seen by an ultrasound. The abdominal scan may miss it, a TVS will usually pick up the baby by 6 weeks , but it too may miss it in this period. But after this, ie after 9 weeks there is no question of the scan missing the baby.
