In ER, had surgery6 months before, still have pain

Hi everyone,

I am 31 years old and six months ago had laparascopic surgery to remove a almost 6cm tubal cyst that resulted in partial fallopian tubal removal of about 3cm.

Anyway, a few days ago the pain in that area intestified a thousand times and I thought I would faint from it, I had two episodes like that that day. Still had pain yesterday so the gyn could not see me until next week and told me to go to the ER. The ER did a CT scan that said everything was ok except that I had "tiny hypodense right adnexal lesions noted, likely ovarian in nature." and to follow up with my gyn.


What does "tiny HYPODENSE adnexal lesions mean? Could that be the reason for the severe pain? Also, I have an appt. with a new gyn as I am not happy with present one but not for two more weeks, is that ok to wait?

Thank you so much,

Marie

Thank you SO Much for your kind help in looking into that. I really appreciate it. I definately think adhesions are another possibility and I will be letting my new dr. know about that.

Thanks again!!

By the way adhesions form and cause pain and do show up on scans as low dense strands.

Hypodense is a term used to describe  a lesion, hypo  means low, adnexal means attachment,  what they are saying  I think is that you have a lesion that shows low density and is on either your tube or ovary.  I am not an expert on topography, but did a little research for you.
