Question 8

Well circumscribed hypoechoic 4.8 cm cystic mass.  thickened internal septations, perifpheral mural nodularity and calcification. pain upper abdomen.

Accepted Answer

I assume the report is describing an ovarian cyst which may be fluid filled. If so, your gynecologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you. It is not clear if this is the cause of your abdominal discomfort since the discomfort is not in the pelvic area. Other imaging studies may be recommended.

Question 9

I am experiencing  abdominal pain (generalized) (severity: moderate) (quality: throbbing sensation) , constipation, tender abdomen, upper abdominal pain (side: left)  and side pain. the following also describes me: abdominal discomfort. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Many things are in the upper abdomen:  stomach, pancreas, liver, small intestine, gall bladder, large intestine, abdominal muscles, etc...  An exam by a primary care doctor can help figure things out. Pain in the right upper abdomen, plus symptoms that occur after eating, can be due to gallstones or other gall bladder disease. The stomach itself and the spleen are in the left upper abdomen.

Question 10

I am experiencing  abdominal pain (quality: stinging or burning sensation, sensation of tearing pain, throbbing sensation) (severity: severe) . the following also describe me: tender abdomen, upper abdominal pain, side pain, lower abdominal pain, heartbur

Accepted Answer

Many things are in the abdomen:  stomach, pancreas, liver, small intestine, gall bladder, appendix, large intestine, abdominal muscles, kidneys, etc...  An exam by a primary care doctor can help figure things out. Pain in the right upper abdomen can be due to gallstones. Pain in the right lower abdomen can be appendicitis.
