3 ultrasounds in the last year show fluid in the culdesac
One year ago I had bleeding after not having has a period for 4+ years. I had a uterine biopsy that was fine one year ago as well. years ago I had brast cancer and am on Tamoxifen.In the last year I have had 3 ultrasounds that show fluid in the culdesac. The doctor said she would want to do surgery to look at some things. She said there would be 3 different incisions. What is she looking for, what is the surgery called and why is the fluid of concern?
Kimchi, First off Wow! You are an inspiraton and I am praying for you. My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast cancer and was given a 3 percent chance to make it five years. It's been 6+ and she is still going very stong...She amazes me along with the Doctor's every day, so stay strong You inspire me, as I am sure you do others as well. Educating yourself is so important!
Can I ask you another question. I have had, as I said, one period, (along with some brown spotting off and on) after not having had any in four years. Since then I have had 3 ultasounds, one uterine biospy and one hysterogram? Also, as I said I take tamoxifen for breast cancer.The only test results that are strange are the ultrasounds. My primary care DR. says that culdeac fluid alone is not need for concern. I am wondering then, why the Gyno wants to do surgery. I have had way to much surgery in the last few years because of the breast cancer, so I'm not looking forward to any more I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.

Ovarian cancer may spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity and lead to the buildup of fluid inside the abdomen, called ascites which is what i had in my abdomen and pleural effusion in the lining on the right side of my diaphragm which is also ovarian cancer fluid. if you can, read my story at the bottom of the original "recurrence" subject.
