My recent trans-vaginal ultrasound (done to help diagonos post-clotial spotting) shows a mass on my right ovary. My doctor's recommended next step is an MRI. I have a couple of questions and hope you can clear some things up for me. I am assuming the mass is not a cyst, since a fluid filled sac would show as a transparent object on the ultrasound -yes or no? Will an MRI indicate if the mass is a fibroid or a more dangerous type of tumor? I have not felt ill and, except for high blood sugar and cholestrol, both which I am on medication for, am quite healthy. If I had cancer, wouldn't I feel sick or something?? Yes, I will ask my doctor these things too, but they haven't called me back. You know, the nurse calls up and says "ovarian mass" and it just freaks you out. Thanks for your help.
