CT scans are not the primary modality of assessing for underlying causes, but it may show some changes. It may be difficult to differentiate [[polyps]], [[adenomyosis]] and [[Leiomyoma|leiomyoma's]] from each other. CT can help asses for the presence of [[metastasis]] secondary to [[endometrial cancer]].
