What Does This Ultrasound Report Indicate?

five months ago i had an operation due to acute appendicitis, dermoid cyst on left ovary and endemetriosis on right ovary. presently, i consulted my ob-gyne because i experienced intermittent pain on my lower right abdomen, i had my ultrasound and the result is as follows: tubulocystic structure - inflammatory reaction suggestive of a pyosalpinx, right adnexia; corpus luteum, left and dermoid cyst left. my doctor asked me if i have a partner or any sexual contact/activity, i told them i have none. i do not have any of that. i am wondering, how can i have tubulocystic structure- (pyosalpinx) when i do not have any sexual contact/act ever since? about the dermoid cyst found on my left ovary, how can it easily retur/develop within five months from my surgery? what is this cause? how it develops? how to prevent it? is there food to prevent? thank you very much.

Radiologist, Interventional ,  's  Response
Dermoid cysts do rarely recur. However, we have first to make sure that the cyst on your left ovary is a dermoid cyst. I'll suggest the following:

= Discuss the previous operation with your surgeon. Was the cyst successfully and completely removed? Did the pathology report confirm it was a dermoid cyst?

= Discuss the ultrasound findings with the radiologist after giving him your surgical history. Endometriosis might cause a cyst (endometrioma) within the ovary.

= Pelvic MRI is the best diagnostic tool for the female pelvis. It can determine exactly the nature of the cysts within your pelvis.

= The cause of the dermoid cyst is unknown. And there's no known precautions to prevent its development. No dietary factors are known to influence its development.

= Pyosalpinx is not necessarily a result of sexually transmitted infection. It may occur as a result of ascending infection or maybe a result of endometriosis.
