Why Would A Pelvic Mass Found During A Bimanual Exam Not Be Found On An Ultrasound And CT?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My gynecologist told me that she felt a pelvic mass on a bimanual exam that suggested to her that I might have an endometrioma or more on the other side of my vaginal cuff. She also noted a polyp on the vaginal side of the cuff that might be endometriosis. Why would a transvaginal ultrasound and a CT scan find absolutely nothing, when I was in so much pain that I needed hydromorphone in the ER to control it?

Have your surgeries been done by an experienced excision specialist or was it ablation? If not excision this may be why you still have so much pain.

Surgery Or Not For 7.2 Cm Mass On Left Ovary
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I ended up in the ER on Sunday with the worst pain in my life on my left side. I have 5 kids 4 of which were all natural with no meds, at one point the pain ib felt on Sunday was worse.
