What Does The Following Test Result Indicate?
I have sever lower adominal pain/pelvic pain. I was in the ER for it about two weeks ago. They did a CT Scan and an ultrasound... I have the results, but I can't get my doctor to call me back to explain them. It say very heterogeneous soft tissue mass posterior to the bladder, which measured about 5.5cm, and in long axis 5.2x5.8cm. What does this mean?

Hello
Heterogeneous soft tissue mass posterior to the bladder may be due to many reasons like pelvic pathology,bowel origin mass etc.
It is important to know your age and sex.
You condition need contrast CT scan of abdomen.CT is needed to assess origin,extent,invasion to surrounding structures.
You may need further investigations lie tumour markers,FNAC depending upon CT scan findings.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical findings and investigations reports.
Get well soon.
