Very worried about pelvic ultrasound
Hello I have been dealing with pelvic/abdominal pain for around three months. I recently went to a gynocologist for a transvaginal ultrasound. Unfortunately the report posted to me was of very poor standard and I am just wondering if you could help me in understanding what the report actually means. So the report stated as follows “normal uterus endometrium 10mm, both ovaries enlarged and multi follicular post ovulation right, 22mm solid area on left with flow on colour Doppler,free fluid moderate amount. At the moment I am being tested for an array of different things mainly because my GP thinks my abdominal pain is gastro related so endoscopy and colonoscopy are due. However the internet has really frightened me and now made me believe that possibly these pains could be ovarian cancer?! my periods are always heavy, and I’ve had this cramping bloating feeling now for longer that expected. I know it isn’t diet related and the fact the gynae didn’t even mention the “solid area” to me I just noticed it in the report sent out!! She is probably taken into consideration my age(28) but I know women of all ages can get OC.
Anyway sorry for that somewhat rant but I’d just like to know based on the “report” and particularly the “solid 2cm area with flow” should I be concerned? Is this the typical report of a cyst because I don’t understand any of the terminology and only know that most cysts come and go through menstruation.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can offer any advice at all.

I don't know how cysts are typically reported terminology wise-like the "solid with flow" statement, but 22mm is a very normal size for a regular monthly follicule. It would be odd for them not to see a cyst. Don't worry about that, it's not worth the stress.

Chances are slim that this could be ovarian cancer especially if you don't have a genetic predisposition for it. Most ovarian cysts resolve on their own and 2cm is very small. Imaging is not exact so what appears to be "solid" could be something like a hemorrhagic (blood filled) cyst. You may want to call your gynecologist to get clarification or her opinion. Let us know what you find out.

Thank you for your response, I really do appreciate it
The solid area was 22mm so roughly 2.2cm. I just wonder could these pains I am feeling in my pelvis the bloated,heavy stomach feeling be due to such a small thing
