17 Year Old Suffer From Severe Pelvic Pain. Follicular Cysts In Oovaries With Retroverted Uterus. History Of Adenomyosis And Endometriosis
My 17 yr old daughter has been suffering with severe lower pelvic pain and an u/s showed small to moderate pelvic cul-de-sac fluid along with sub centimeter follicular cysts on both ovaries and a retroverted uterus . What does all this mean? My mother and I both had hysto due to endometriosis and adenomyosis (mine at 23).

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Follicular cysts of the ovary are benign cyst that develop in the ovary.
The main cause of this follicular cyst is hormonal imbalance.
Treatment is oral contraceptive pills after a periods of 2 months observation for spontaneous resolution.
So i suggest you to wait for 2 months and repeat ultrasound.
If follicular cyst does not decrease in size, she has to start OC pills for 3 monts regularly.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Dr Nilofer
