okay i had an ultrasound today pelvic and trans vaginal. they doc just called and said nothing was found?

Question

well i have been told i have characteristics of pcos that means cyst on your ovaries right well than why did that not show up does that mean i don't have cyst on my ovaries also my adrenogen level is slightly high and that is cause by cyst on your ovaries so what is the deal. i know there is something wrong cause i've been on my period for 7 months and i have never been able to get pregnant due to lack of ovulation. what could this be could they have just not seen any cyst but maybe they are there or can i have a hormonal imbalance and that is it.

Answer 1

cysts can be quite tiny, and are easy to miss on ultrasound. Also, ovaries that fail to mature properly, will not only not produce eggs they will cause ongoing bleeding thru putting out the wrong kinds of hormones. I'd say your next step was exploratory laparoscopic surgery.

Answer 2

pcos is poly cystic ovary syndrome. You do not have to have a "cyst" as such on your ovaries to have pcos sometimes it can be so small that it only looks like a small black dot on ultrasound.

Polycystic Ovarian (Ovary) Syndrome is a hormonal disorder. Sometimes PCOS is described as an ‘endocrine’ disorder, it’s the same thing. Overseas research suggests its affects between 5 and 10% of all women of childbearing age regardless of race or nationality. However a Melbourne study published in February 2005 suggests the figure could be much higher, at 12% of Australian women or one in eight women. This equates to around half a million Australian women and teenagers!


It’s an unfortunately named syndrome, as people often think of large grapefruit-sized cysts when they hear the term ‘polycystic ovaries’. In the case of PCOS, the cysts are tiny. Using an ultrasound, they look like black dots on an ovary. These cysts are eggs that have failed to properly mature and release from the ovary.




PCOS symptoms usually present themselves during puberty but may also begin in the early to mid 20s. Certain symptoms are life-long, others will cease at menopause.

Syndrome means this is a condition that has a number of diagnostic symptoms with no simple hard and fast diagnostic test. Each woman presents with a different number of symptoms and together they make PCOS. It’s rare that two women share exactly the same symptoms.


The following is a list of some of the possible symptoms:

Hirsuitism (excessive hair growth on the face, chest, abdomen, etc.) Hair loss (androgenic alopecia, in a classic "male baldness" pattern) Acne
Polycystic ovaries (seen on ultrasound)
Obesity
Infertility or reduced fertility
Irregular or absent menstrual periods

Answer 3

For two years in a row, my gynecologist thought she felt a cyst on my left ovary. Two years in a row I had pelvic and vaginal ultrasounds and nothing showed up. Well, I decided to switch doctors. They did a CT scan and saw a tennis-ball sized dermoid cyst on my left ovary. The ultrasonographer in my new doctor's office could also see it on ultrasound. My advice is to request a CT scan or get a new doctor.

If your a virgin, they wont move within of you. You will need to inform the healthcare professional if you're a virgin or now not and they are going to make a decision then. But due to the fact you're sexually energetic they will move within. Just shouldn't have your mothers and fathers come in your appointment. The healthcare professional can not inform them should you inform them to not say some thing.
