ct scans/tvag ultrasound

by madcarly, Feb 17, 2004 12:00AM
The waiting is driving me nuts. ultrasound lab requested radiology review and report an addendum to previous ct scan because of first report incorrectly reporting uterine calcifications. This addendum was done after the ultrasound was read. ( i don't have a uterous). results of ct scan now are: 2.4AP cm X 2.0 cm transverse low density lesion on right ovary. numerous calcifications within pelvis bilaterally within region of a prominent vaginal cuff. What does this mean?

TVaginal ultrasound results: several small follicular type cysts were on right ovary.the right ovary measured 4.4 X 2.2 X 2.3 cm.
No free fluid in cul-de-sac.

Several questions are: I do not see my GYN until next friday.
1.) Having been in menopause for over five years, a partial hysterectomy over 13 years ago, no menses in 13 years. how could I have several follicular cysts? I thought these were from ovulating? and, 2.) what are calcifications in pelvic area more specically "the prominent vaginal cuff"? I know from  my past breast biopsies and the pathology reports from them, I always had "calcifications" and the "atypical hyperplasia cells" what can i expect the GYN to do at this point. I still have pain, rt. side flank area, abdominal pressure, some bowel disturbances, bloating, etc. my pcp doctor told me i should have other tests or surgery. 3.)my information is that these type of cysts do not present with symptoms or pain. is this true.

Thank you, I'll quit worrying so much before my appointment now that I know these are simply cysts.
