Do I have adenomyosis

I was in the er just a few day ago and they did a vagninal ultrasound . It showed thaty uterus was midly heterogenous and that it measured 8.3 x4.1, etc . It also showed that on my right ovary I have a paraovarian cyst and my left ovary I have a cyst . And I saw my obgyn back on march 4 and age told me that i may have adenomyosis . What does this all mean ? Is having a paraovarian cyst dangerous ? And by the measurements of my uterus does that means it's somewhat enlarged ? What's going on with me ? Can someone help me ! Plz . Would this mean I would need surgery ? I'm only 22 yrs old and a mother of 2 bby girls .I forgot to add that my actual uterus measured 8.5 x 3.5 x 5.8cm . Is that an enlarged uterus to be concerned ? And they said it was midly heterogenous . My right ovary measured 3.1 x 3.5 x 1.6cm. Then they said there is an incidental 1.1cm right paraovarian cyst . The left ovary measured 2.3 x 1.6x 2.5cm and contains a 1.2cm cyst . Also they said there is no significant pelvic free fluid . And lastly there is no significant fluid in the endometrial cavity . Please someone can tell me what this all means ?:( I've been so scared and worried .

My mother had her uterus removed because of measurement-based findings to do with the lining of her uterus, on the grounds of adenomyosis. Sure, she had endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, but they jumped the gun and assumed that the ultrasound was telling them she had adenomyosis as well. They removed her uterus, then the biopsy came back negative, and she just natural had thick uteral wall linings. She wanted 2 more kids after my little brother and I :(   Just be careful and never let them assume without triple-checking.

Here is what I found on the cysts:
A paraovarian cyst is a closed, fluid-filled sac that grows beside or near the ovary and fallopian tube, but is never attached to them. It is usually located on the broad connection (ligament) between the uterus and the ovary, and is often found on only one side (unilateral) of the uterus. It is thought to develop from embryological vestiges (Wolffian structures), the external covering of the Fallopian tubes (tubal epithelium), or the smooth serous membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen (peritoneum). Paraovarian cysts are usually very small (ranging in size from 2 to 20 cm). These cysts have little clinical significance, occurring asymptomatically as incidental findings during other pelvic examinations and surgeries. Most often, they are diagnosed as benign ovarian cysts or as fluid-filled distentions of the fallopian tube (hydrosalpinx).

I would talk to your doctor about the possible adenomyosis.  Let them know you went to the ER and what you found out there.  They can look into it further for you and tell you what you need to do.
