concerned about ct results

[kc721]

Hi all,

I just received lab results in the mail for a recent CT with contrast.  They note " bilateral adnexal cysts approaching 2cm on the left side" , and a small amount of fluid in the cul-de-sac.  Everythign else ( other than apparent nonobstructing calculi in bth kidneys was unremarkable.  My endocrinologist sent me in for tests because I had elevated levels of testosterone ( my hair is falling out in clumps) and I have been exhausted.  He scared me to death when he said he was looking for a tumor.  I know that he is very good at what he does but he has a horrible bedside manner... and now of course I have my copies of these reuslts and it's Friday afternoon and can't reach his office.  Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks

2 cm is considered a fairly small cyst.  If it's a simple cyst meaning fluid filled, that may be the reason you have fluid in the cul de sac (it may have leaked a little).  Does the CT scan give any clue as to the type of adnexal cysts?  Does it say "simple" or "complex"?  It's too early to panic.  I'm not sure if there is a correlation between testosterone and ovarian cysts but maybe someone will address that.  Your cysts are small and there is no real evidence to panic at this time.  Leave a message with your doctor's answering service and ask to be called back this weekend.  Hang in there.
