CT Results Question
Just curious if I should be concerned or not about recent CT. Actually I'm pretty happy that maybe they found something little that is fixable and could relieve all of my bladder pressure/ stomach and body pains and menstrual type pains that last for ~3 of of every four weeks. ??? The link to all of my test this week is:

The CT part says;
CT Abdomen and Pelvis W Optiray 350, 125 mL.---------------?
1. Lower portions of both lungs zones are normal.
2. The liver shows some slight fatty infiltration, otherwise th liver spleen, gallbladder, pancreas as well as the adrenals are normal.
3. The kidneys are normal. The right kidney is oriented long its horizontal axis, otherwise no hydronephrosis or masses appreciated.
4. There is no retroperitoneal adenopathy, free fluid or ascites in the abdomen or pelvis.
5. There are prominent ovaries bilaterally with low density changes invoving both ovaries. On the left side, the ovary measures about 4 cm x 3cm. On the right side, the ovary measures 3.3 x 3.3 cm. The low density changes could be related to cysts. On the right side, it cannot be separated from the uterus and further ultrasound of the pelvis advised. The patient did have an ultrasound on 2/17/09 which described no significant cyst.
6. The endometrial cavity is irregular showing some areas of focal thickening with fluid. The fundal portion shows more irregular cahnges of the endometrial cavity. This is nonespecific and because of the patients' age again correlation with an ultrasound of the pelvis is advised for further evaluation.
7. The appendix is visualized and is normal and there is no evidence of colonic obstruction.
8. There is some nonspecific distention of the duodenal sweep which is fluid filled. Some of the folds do appear prominaent and could represent some localized duodenitis. If it does this can be further evaluated with a small bowel series, and/or endoscopy.
Next and hopefully last of test are:
July 1st.....UGI o`SBFT-----drink barium for and find out how long it takes to get into and threw small intestines......Nothing by mouth after midnight.
And July 9th.......US of Pelvis-----drink 32oz. of water 1 1/2 hours before test. This one is hard since I have to go to the bathroom ~ every 30 minutes.
P.S. Brown discharge has stopped.
Thank you in advance for any answers. Amy. ;~)

Hi. Thank you for the reply. I'm not looking for a diagnoses per say, just anyone that has had something similar to this show up on their CT and their opinion of it.
My doctor told me I need to have the test listed above (repeat Pelvic US & Upper GI series) and then see a gynocologist. That won't probably be until the 12th or so after all test results are in to take with me.
The number's 5, 6 and 8 I had questions about. Mainly 5 and 6 on the ovarian forum here.
On #5 the part that says " The low density changes could be related to cysts. On the right side, it cannot be separated from the uterus" and on #6 "The endometrial cavity is irregular showing some areas of focal thickening with fluid. The fundal portion shows more irregular changes of the endometrial cavity.
I'm thinking the results are pretty good. I'm just happy they finally caught something that sounds like it could be an easy fix on # 8 that might help with all of the bloating/pains, pressure and urgency issues.
As for # 5 and 6 though I thought I would ask others on here what they thought. I'm thinking it doesn't sound bad....but I thought I would ask on here and get some opinions.
Thanks again......Amy.

Well, since we're not Drs. . we really try not to diagnose ..It sounds as though you possibly have a cyst and another US is advised. The rest of the report actually has more to do with other issues, rather than ovarian. What has your Dr. advised? He really is the best one to discuss this with .
Sorry can't be of more help.. You'll feel better once your physician has explained it all to you..
