Nothing bad: This wording just means the study was made less useful because of gas, which we all have making the picture obscure. This is like taking a photo & having it come out blurry. Don't assume this means you don't have an ovary there or something bad is going on.

No worry: You had a lot of gas in your bowel which made seeing your ovary impossible. The gas is normal. If your doctor is worried they can order another US
