A member asked:

What do these things mean? right ovary measures 3.3 x 3.4 x 2.3 cm, with a calculated volume of 13.6 ml. dominant follicle in the right ovary measures up to 1.7 cm. trace nonspecific free fluid in the pelvic cul-de-sac, likely physiologic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If ovulation occurred this menstrual cycle, and a remaining "dominant follicle" is seen on ultrasound, a prior follicle can rupture ( as it may have been the "true" dominant follicle) , releasing follicular fluid detected as "free fluid" in the lowest portion of the peritoneal cavity (i.e., cul-de-sac).
