U/S results

[Bugsrevenge]

my GP had no idea what my U/S results mean, and it can be up to a two month wait to see the Gynecologist (i'm in Northern Canada)  I 'm 31, no children with a family history of ovarian, colon, uterine cancer (HNPCC)  I had intermittent sharp lower abdominal pain, then it turned into constant ache with sharp pain, pain urinating, pain passing gas, pain deficating.  The pain would get worse the longer I stood up and walked around.  My GP felt a bulge in my vagina when he did a manual exam.  I got a colonoscopy that was clear.
Here is the U/S report
"The ovaries are abnormal.  A complex multilocular cystic structure is seen in the left adnexa.  The left ovary is grossly normal adjacent to the complex collection.  The right ovary is increased in volume measuring 4 x 5 cm increased echogenicity is present internally which may reflect physiologic hemorrhage.  
The ovaries are abnormal as described.  Increased echogenicity and complex "cystic" change is seen bilaterly."

So how worried should I be about this, should I kick up a fuss to get a quicker appointment with the specialist?  What
does "grossly normal" mean?

I think you should do all you can to be seen sooner.   Most cysts do turn out to be benign.  But, any complex cyst 5cm or larger and complex runs a risk of malignancy and needs to be removed as soon a possible, preferably by a gynecologic oncologist.  I realize you are in Canada and the waiting time is long and access to a gyn/onc may not be possible.  But, you should still try to push for it.  Don't worry about the word "grossly, " in your report.  It doesn't mean anything bad.  It means that it looked overall normal for what can be seen visually by the radiologist.    With your family history and current findings, you really must insist that you get a sooner appointment.  It could still be be benign condition, but you don't want to take a chance.  Keep us posted on how you are doing.  Best wishes!
