Question 1

possible pelvic mass but had a total hysterectomy.

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: You should have more evaluation to confirm whether it is trully a pelvic mass and to find what it is. Some imaging and ultimately biopsy should be in the order there.Besides reproductive system, we also have bladder, colon, other soft tissue and musculoskeletal , lymphatic organs there etc. Need further eval.

Question 2

hello. i had a hysterectomy 6 years ago. it was a total hysterectony and removal of both ovaries .ave a lot of pain today and the er doc told me i had a 1 inch pelvic mass (presumably a cyst)  on something that looks like an ovary.  i will check in with m

Accepted Answer

Schedule follow up: The next step is a visit to your obgyn. Bring a copy of the report that showed the cyst. They will need to review it. If the pain has resolved then another type of imaging to determine what is seen should be considered.  If the pain continues they may consider a diagnostic laparoscopy. They will also want to know if you are sure both ovaries were removed. Sono/ct or MRI may be helpful here.

Question 3

i was told that i have a pelvic mass and fibroids on my uterus should i consider a hysterectomy i am 50?

Accepted Answer

Tough question: Fibroids reduce in size after menopause, so the fibroid answer would depend on when menopause occurs. (crystal ball time!) the more concerning question pertains to the pelvic mass. In your (our) age group, we have to consider a pelvic mass as a possible tumor - possibly ovarian cancer. Talk with your doctor clearly about your diagnosis and options. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Question 4

diagnosed with endometriosis during a laparoscopic for a pelvic mass. this is 25 years after my hysterectomy. still had my ovaries. common? concerned?

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis: Endometriosis would still be present after your hysterectomy since you kept your ovaries. You will want to verify that no other significant findings were present in your pathology report. Depending on your symptoms your obgyn can guide you on the potential need for other treatments or can determine if the mass was removed

Question 5

my 78 year old relative had a ct of the abdomen and pelvis.  a unrelated finding was a report of fibroids on her uterus.  this was a suprise as she had a hysterectomy 45 years ago.  pelvic ultrasound confirmed no uterus but identified some type of mass.

Accepted Answer

Biopsy: This is something that needs further evaluation by your physician, possibly a biopsy or at the very least a clear explanation of the finding.

Question 6

how fast can a pelvic mass grow?

Accepted Answer

Depends on DX: It depends on the type of mass it is. Some masses may be very rapidly growing and others are very slow growing or may not grow at all.  Get the mass checked out and discuss with the dr.  Best wishes.

Question 7

i was told i have a  pelvic mass do too  fibroids what can i expect?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable: First of all it is unusual to get a first time diagnosis of fibroids at age 50 unless they are very small. They really should not be large and growing at that age. That would slightly increase the risk of cancer. But fibroids may cause no symptoms, or they may cause pain, bleeding, constipation, etc. Depends on number, size and location.

Question 8

can someone interpret this for me? there is only one number for the cyst measurement. would this be the circumference of the cyst? previously identified large midline cystic pelvic mass with low-level internal echoes currently measures 17.2 cm?

Accepted Answer

: Probably it is round in shape. If irregular or elongated, probably additional dimensions would have been stated.

Question 9

pelvic mass shown on ultrasound, but not ct scan, why?

Accepted Answer

Different imaging.: Sometimes things can be well demonstrated on ct and not ultrasound and vice versa. I'd need your studies to compare. Occaisionally, there are artifacts with either modality that can mimic a mass when there really isn't one. Bowel loops can often do this with either test.

Question 10

i am experiencing  pelvic mass, constipation and numbness or tingling (time frame: gradual onset) .

Accepted Answer

Pelvic mass : Needs evaluation asap. Consult with us to determine if you need further evaluation.
