Heterogeneous Uterus
The term heterogeneous means not the same. When the term heterogeneous uterus is used it means that the texture of your uterus is not uniform, or the same throughout. There is no need to panic though. The causes of a heterogeneous uterus can be very simple such as fibroids. If a doctor told you that you had a heteroegenous uterus ask them to explain more about it. They can also determine what is causing it.
