Brief Answer:
Just a normal variation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A crenated follicle is a routine finding and the follicle will regress after you have periods in this cycle. New follicles will form in the next cycle. So there is nothing to worry. Pelvic varices are venous prominence that as such do not indicate any abnormality.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thank you for your prompt response. I had a transvaginal ultrasound on 6/4/16 they found a dominant noncomplex follicle on left ovary measuring 1.9x1.9x1.9cm. My question is why am I getting frequent cyst on my ovaries. In the past they never found any cyst before. I am very concern about ovarian cancer. As I have be experiencing gastric and left abdominal and back pain for a about 3 months now. Can a ct scan with contrast miss any mass in abdominal and pelvic region??? Can a transvaginal miss a mass on ovaries or on any reproductive organs???
I also forgot to mention on my ct scan with contrast report states there is an enhancing mucosa of the terminal ileum with slight wall thickening suggesting terminal ileitis. The report also mentions that I have a fat containing hernia, but it wasn't specific as to where this fat containing hernia is located at. The date of this ct scan with contrast is about a month ago 8/4/16.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Th frequent cysts that are being detected are more likely benign cysts as they are disappearing on their own. The gastric and left abdominal pain could be due to an intestinal cause. A CT scan with contrast will not miss any mass more than 1 cm in size in pelvic region. A transvaginal scan is also a good way to detect any ovarian pathology. Terminal ileitis can cause a mild abdominal pain. A small fat containing hernia can be in the anterior abdominal wall. It is not worrisome.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
