Brief Answer:
Triangular focus is concern

Detailed Answer:
Hi

A small triangular shaped focus in anterior wall is of concern.

Need to know if this is Pus collection that is causing frequent problem. Please show it to your gynecologist as this needs to be evacuated by putting a small incision.

This needs to be removed.

Brief Answer:
Not seen in x ray

Hi

This cannot be seen on imaging modalities like X ray.

MRI has shown triangular focus already.

Adhesions dont occur so soon. Peritonitis is unlikely.
