What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?
You have endometrial polyp, uterine fibroid and right ovary irregular cyst
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. There is a 5 x 3 x 5 mm area in the cavity of uterus as visualized on ultrasound and this can be a polyp or growth arising from the lining of the uterus.
2. There is a 23 x 22 x 18 mm fibroid in the wall of uterus anteriorly. This is a small fibroid and not a serious problem.
3. There is a fluid containing cyst measuring 13 mm in right ovary with suspicious wall irregularity.
The endometrial polyp and uterine fibroid findings are likely benign but the cystic nodule with suspicious wall irregularity in right ovary requires close monitoring like an ultrasound in 3 months and followed by MRI scan if needed. Please discuss with your doctor and get certain blood tests for ovary done if required.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

The cyst in ovary can rarely be endometrioma
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. The endometrial polyp and uterine fibroid are not endometriosis. However the cyst in the ovary needs to be followed up in 6 to 12 weeks to know if it can be a endometrioma or chocolate cyst which is a rare possibility. An endometrioma is a focus of endometriosis in the ovary. Right now it is difficult to tell if the cyst with irregular walls in the right ovary is related to endometriosis.
2. It is important to get another urine culture and sensitivity test after completing the antibiotics. This will tell if your infection is treated or you need any new medicine. I am not aware if the antibiotics were prescribed by your OB or another doctor.
3. The scans can be repeated after 3 months or earlier. Please be informed about the consequences of taking norco pain relief. You can switch to mild pain relievers if the pain is tolerable.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

A final question regarding my labs. My ALT came back at 5 with +15 ketones in my urine. Does this mean anything worrisome combined with my radiological findings?
You are having side effects of medicine flagyl
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. The antibiotic flagyl contains metronidazole and this medicine is known to cause loss of taste in many patients and probably the reason why you feel sick. This will stay till you have the medicine.
2. It is good that you know the adverse effects of norco and using it properly.
3. Your ALT is low and should be evaluated with other results. In itself it is not a problem. Ketonuria occurs in those having less carbohydrates or any condition with cardohydrate metabolism. If it persists then please discuss with your doctor.
Hope your query is answered.
