Physiologic: Nabothian cysts are fluid filled cysts that are noted on the cervix and are often detected on ultrasound. These are benign and form during formation of all your organs as a fetus. These are normal physiologic variants that are commonly seen in the general population.

Question 3

what does 'moderate amount of free fluid in the uterine cavity' mean on a ct report? history of pelvic pain and possible cervical mass.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: A ct isn't usually the best test to look at the gynecologic organs such as the uterus or uterine cavity. We can only notice general things like fluid in the uterus or large masses. Most of the time the fluid is normal and represents blood products due to menstruation, but strictly speaking we cannot know for sure so we say "free fluid." an ultrasound is usually helpful if you haven't had one yet.

Question 4

can you help me understand my us report? "there is trace free fluid in pelvis. suspected 0.9x0.3cm echogenic nodule identified in endometrial cavity with trace free fluid, likely endometrial polyp versus intracavitary fibroid. neoplasm not excluded."

Accepted Answer

: The ultrasound report identifies a mass consistent with either a fibroid tumor or a polyp  (benign "neoplasms") which may be the reason the ultrasound was ordered, as both may cause bleeding between menstrual events.  See your GYN physician who ordered the ultrasound for guidance.  "Free fluid" in the abdominal cavity is a frequent and essentially normal finding.

Question 6

had a cardiac mri. finding: mild lv cavity dilation, normal lv systolic function; lvef 62%.trivial pericardial & pleural effusion?

Accepted Answer

OK, and...: Sounds pretty good to me. Not quite sure what the dilation is from but that ef of 62% is stone cold normal. If you have normal valvular function, i'd not pay much attention to the lv dilation other than to follow it. As for the effusions, they are, as it says, trivial. Unless you have pulmonary hypertension, i'd probably just follow them. These are general comments only. Ask your md.
