What Causes Difficulty In Seeing Ovaries During A Transvaginal Ultrasound?
I had a transvaginal ultra sound because I have been having lower left pelvic pain. The tech was unable to see my ovaries. She said they were hiding behind the bowel. My Dr. Gave me the results of the ultra sound and said there were no masses. I asked her how they could tell there were no masses if they couldn t see my ovaries. She said they would be able to tell if there were masses. Is this true?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If there was a large mass then it may be seen on the ultrasound, if there is a small mass present then it may be hidden from view
Cancerous changes to the ovaries are not common, the most common mass seen in the ovaries are cysts, which are usually benign (not dangerous)
I hope this helps
