Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
Can you tell me the sizes of the ovarian cysts or the fibroid?
Also, can you tell me the location of the fibroid?
Thank you!

Right ovarian cyst is 1.3x1.0x1.7 cm and the left ovarian cyst measures 1.8x 1.6x 2.4 cm no ad exam masses seen. The uterine fibroid measures 2.6x 1.9x 2.3 cm sub mucosal fibroid. The uterus is retroverted and endometrium has thickness of 0.6 cm
Thank you for the followup information - that is very helpful!
The question that is often asked from the perspective of an OB/GYN is "are these symptoms related to a GYN source or not". You have an evaluation that has included an evaluation of the pelvic organs. The findings include:
1. Normal views of both ovaries (the ovarian cysts are normal, normal size, and likely of no concern). You form ovarian cysts every month, and these are of normal size and unlikely to explain your symptoms
2. You have a sub-mucous fibroid - this is a fibroid that is close to the lining (the part that normally grows and sheds each month). It is actually a decent size and they typically present with irregular, heavy bleeding, cramps, and perhaps bloating.
While the fibroid could be a source or your symptoms, it sounds like it also might be an incidental finding. Regardless, though, now that they have found it, they need to make sure it is a benign process. You need:
1. An endometrial biopsy
2. Possible sonohysterogram (an ultrasound where fluid is put in around the fibroid to assess the ease with which it can be removed)
This should all be done in consultation with a GYN doctor. If the source of your pain is NOT though to be related to GYN problems, then you should probably see a GI (gastroenterologist) and see what they think.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
