What does a liver lesion mean in a 32-y/o woman with PCOD?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 32-year-old unmarried woman with PCOD. Since last month, I have been experiencing stomach pain. This month, I underwent a whole abdomen ultrasound, which revealed a lesion in the left lobe of my liver. Is this harmful?

I drink green coffee every day and take Uprise D3 (60,000 IU) vitamin D capsules once a month. Aside from this, I do not take any other medications. I am allergic to certain drugs, including Norflox, Nortriptyline, PAN D, and Cetirizine. I am attaching the ultrasound report for your reference.

Please guide.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have reviewed your ultrasound report (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). The findings indicate that you have a lesion measuring less than 0.39 inches, which appears to be a hemangioma. This is not dangerous; it is simply a collection of blood vessels and is quite common in the liver.

Given your history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOD), you may have had multiple ultrasounds of the abdomen and pelvis in the past. If so, it would be a good idea to compare this report with your previous ultrasounds to evaluate any size differences in the hemangioma.

If you do not have previous ultrasounds, there is still no cause for concern. You can schedule a follow-up ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis in about three to six months to check on the size of the lesion.

Additionally, when you visit your gynecologist or treating physician, please inform them about this finding. In women, the size of a hemangioma can be affected by certain medications, including oral contraceptives or other treatments related to PCOD.

In summary, there is no need to worry at this time.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Thank you for reaching out.
