37 year old female (me). 3 children. No family history of cancer except pre-cancer polyps (both my mom, and me) in the colon. She had hysterectomy in her mid-20s due to cervical cancer...so who knows about her uterus, and my grandma also had hysterectomy in her 20s due to fibroids and ovarian cysts. She died at 63 of brain tumor. No other significant history.
I have had 18 months of chronic GI issues, that have been thouroughly worked up, and all tests are normal. (only the pre-cancer polyps showed up, but don't explain the chronic diarrhea, pain, and bloating and weight loss.)
Had horrible periods from 1/2008-2/2009-bled three weeks a month, had uterine polyp and ended up anemic. Had endometrial ablation (Novasure.) 3/2009-worked for about 10 months. Bleeding is back but more like black old blood mixed with a mucous discharge..every other week for days at a time. Sometimes clotty..always black/brown...assumed it was "left over" from ablation..? Also have achy pelvic area, bloated down there, painful sex and sharp twingy pains at times.
Went to gyn for first time since ablation 12 days ago. He ordered ultrasound. Here are results:
(i'll just put what sounds abnormal to me)
Uterus "tiny nabothian cysts", endometrial stripe: 1.2 cm EV, fluid within the endometrial canal outlining a polypoid lesion 7x7mm. Minimal fluid also in endocervix. Contour: Lobular, Echotexture: Heterongenous. (radiologist puts recommendation to have a hysterosonogram to further characterize.) right ovary ok, but left ovary has a "slightly complex ovarian cyst" (2.6cm)-and arterial flow couldn't be assessed on that side. (radiologist recommends a re-check in a couple of cycles) Small amount of free fluid.
My gyn hasn't called with results yet (i just picked this up for my records...) But I am worried about what the above might mean...? Any knowledge you could impart would be so appreciated.
Thank you.
