My first test showed fibroids in my uterus. My second ultrasould can in a the finding we some what the same, but now it is stating cancerous notings. My gyn told me not possible cause they can tell that in an ultrasoul. He then gave me another gyn for him the take a look at the test. Kind of funny y send my to another doctor when it is not possible. Should I be worried?

Fibroids are usually not cancerous, but growths of tissue that many women have. They are hereditary and can be painful at times. I was diagnosed with them when pregnant by ultrasound and I was told that they are very, vey rarely cancerous. If they were cancerous they would need to take a sample of the tissue to biopsy it for cancer.
An ultrasound can detect fibroids, but you would need a biopsy to determine if they are cancerous or not.
Yes, like one of the user said.
Fibroids aren’t cancerous. They are usually benign than malignant.
