A member asked:

What does ultrasound for an ovarian cyst show ?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

The cyst: The ovaries, uterus, and bladder are easy to see and examine on a transvaginal ultrasound exam. If there is an ovarian cyst, the ultrasound will show its size and nature.

See below: The ultrasound can differentiate an ovary with fluid (cyst) vs solid (possible tumor).
