I had my first ultrasound done in September to monitor some ovarian cysts, and I just had them mail me a copy for when I see a new doctor since I have moved. I am trying to understand the results but am not sure if the numbers/sizes/dimensions are normal or not. It says that my right ovary itself is bigger than the left one. Is that normal? I would think so, to a point, but do not know. I'm trying to look up "normal measuremrents" for the uterus, ovaries and endometrial plate online but haven't had any luck so far. Thought maybe someone here would happen to know? (A little info about me-I am 19 yo, 94lbs, 5'1, and have one child, if that can help any.) My uterus measures 7.5 x 3.7 cm. Right ovary-2.7x1.5cm. Left ovary-2.4x1.9cm. Endometrial plate-7mm in thickness (The thickness of 7 dimes stacked together.) And also, what does "well circumscribed" mean? As in I have well circumscribed ovarian cysts involving both ovaries?

I had cysts on both ovaries but when I went to the ER for the pain of one rupturing, by the time they did an ultrasound they couldn't find anything wrong but one that measures approx. 1.3x1.4cm on the left ovary. (They pretty much said I am crazy, they don't believe me, and to go home and take some Motrin.)

Didn't they measure the cysts? Circumscribed means that everything is well defined - they could see outlines well. your measurements don't sound that big. 7 mm is large for an endomtrial stripe in a person of your age, but it can also depend on your cycle, birth control. The size of the stripe increases due to those circumstances. Your ovaries and uterus are not abnormal in size. Ovarian cysts can make one ovary larger than the other. Motrin can relieve the pain from an ovarian cyst. Very seldom does an ovary have to be removed d/t a cyst. Of course, extreme pain in the area of your ovaries would warrant a trip to the ER immediately.
