Question 1

who would read a pelvic sonogram image?

Accepted Answer

Radiologists: Officially interpret pelvic ultrasound exams.  Ob/gyns may also interpret obstetrical ultrasounds.

Question 2

how helpful is a pelvic sonogram (ultrasound) in diagnosis of endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Endo dx: Only of there is a mass, ultrsound is very non specific tool. Laparoscopy continues to be the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometriosis.

Question 3

what is an cystic mass? pelvic sonogram found it?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Most pelvic cysts arise from the ovary and are benign. A simple cyst is a fluid filled sac that has very specific characteristics on ultrasound. These are always benign. However, not all "cysts" are simple. There are benign and malignant lesions that are "cystic", but are not simple cysts. Ask your doctor to clarify it for you.

Question 4

i am 39 years old and recently had a pelvic sonogram. the findings were:
1) a complex cyst in the left ovary that measures up to 21mm has an appearanc?

Accepted Answer

Probably no followup: The question seems incomplete, but a 21 mm cyst would be considered physiological and not requiring followup.

Question 5

how high do hcg levels have to be before one can get a pelvic sonogram?

Accepted Answer

1500-2000 at least.: After that level one should be able to see an early pregnancy sac with transvaginal ultrasound (depends on your body type, the machine used and the experience of the examining specialist). Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and best of luck! cardiac activity usually seen after 4500-6000 - fyi.

Question 6

i have  anterior intramural fibroid 2.4x2.4x2.5 cm which 6 months ago was 2.0x1.5x1.7 cm . i get constant pain in the pelvic and groin area. could it be the fibroids have 3 pelvic sonograms same resul?

Accepted Answer

Fibroids can grow: If you are in your 20's or 30's, then fibroids most definitely can grow in size and number.  Folks in their mid 40's tend to have fibroids that will shrink in time.  If you are finished having children, the your local ob/gyn doctor may suggest that you have a hysterectomy, since you have chronic pelvic pain.

Question 7

my daughter has pain in her bladder when it gets full and right after she urinates.  the dr. tester her for uti this past wednesday and it came back negative.  they recommended cranberry juice and asked  if she had  done a pelvic sonogram.  ?

Accepted Answer

Common issue: This is an age where tub baths can trigger such behavior due to soapy irritation of the pee hole. These kids slosh around in dirty soapy water for a while and seldom get a proper rinse of their genitals before getting out.The soap film dries and leads to itching/burning during voids &amp; urge to pee. Showers with attention to rinsing away any soap from the area can sometimes stop this in a few days

Question 8

barium enema, pelvic sonogram (2001) results: normal.  2010. redundant colon and a retroverted uterus.  how can these conditions be congenital?

Accepted Answer

They are not: These are normal findings.  The changes are associated with aging.  The position of the uterus is affected by child birth, c-sections, and just plain old time.  Also, the redundant colon just means your colon has a lot of curves - it's not diseased.

Question 9

i am taking bc pills continuously for endometriosis and have been having increased pelvic pain. the sonogram  shows  heterogenous uterus with 8mm endometrium? what is next step?

Accepted Answer

Endometrial Biopsy : Your gyn may want to stop the pills and rescan or collect an endometrial biopsy next. Other options may include a d;c or endometrial ablation depending on your medical history.

Question 10

i'm 9 weeks postpartum and i'm having pelvic pain. had a sonogram and was told i have a blood clot in my uterus. can this cause pain?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you had a vaginal birth  and have resumed normal menstruation or if you do experience some vaginal bleeding, the finding of a "blood clot  in your uterus" is not likely to cause your pelvic pain.
