hi, is it bad? endometrium 10mm with a trace of free fluid in the posterior. an involuting follicular cyst 1.7x1.9x2.1 cm. i'd like to have child

Accepted Answer

Not bad: The thickness of the lining of the uterus changes based on where you are in your cycle. Free fluid can be a benign process for example if a cyst was to rupture. The cyst you have is not significant and many cysts resolve within 1 to 3 months. Based on the findings you should be fine having a child. Good luck

Different cysts : A follicle cyst goes away at the end of your cycle, so these are two different cysts. The amount of bleeding you have each month varies, and is a function of how much lining grew that month, with was a result of the hormones made by the follicle.
