Suggest Ways To Rule Out A Hydrosalpinx

I had a hysterectomy in 2009 done vaginally. They were not able to reach the right ovary, I was not concerned then, but a tear later, found breast cancer. I have a sonogram of that right ovary every year and it has always been fine until this past May of 2016. They said I had a 1.5 cm cyst on the ovary, I had it rechecked a few days ago and a different radiologist thinks it is not a cyst, but hydrosalpinx . Also, they are now saying it is 2.4 cm. The radiologist said it is nothing and not to worry about it. After having breast cancer and the fact that I am getting two different opinions as to what it is and the fact that it is larger than 4 months ago, I am worried,

The best investigation for the female genital system is pelvic MRI.

Did you give the sonographer your past surgical history of hysterectomy? As since you have had hysterectomy done, hydrosalpinx should be unlikely.

A trans-vaginal ultrasound should give better characterization of this cyst. The ultrasound appearance also can suggest the nature of this cyst, whether its suspicious, or nothing to worry about.

In case ultrasound results were questionable, pelvic MRI should be considered.

Feel free to to iconsult about any further concerns.
