Would you please interpret the results of my abdomen and pelvic ultrasound tests?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I recently found out that I am pregnant. It has been five weeks since my last period. I got a pelvic and abdominal ultrasound done, and they said there were some abnormal findings. I am currently in a foreign country, so I did not understand the results or the doctor's explanation. They told me my endometrium lining is 16.4 mm, and it is not normal. And my pouch of Douglas is 6.64 mm. Would you please interpret these findings?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
In my opinion, there is no abnormal finding. Most of the time, pregnancy is not seen on pelvis ultrasound. The endometrium appears thick. Your blood tests (attachments removed to protect patient's identity) for hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) are in range for five weeks of pregnancy. If you are not having any problem, then you are fine, in my opinion. Otherwise, you can repeat the ultrasound after two weeks or do a transvaginal ultrasound after one week.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply. The doctors told me that the fluid in my pouch of Douglas means I have an infection. Is that not true?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Quite often, a small amount of fluid is present in the pelvis without any abnormality. However, if you have symptoms of pelvic infection, then only it has significance. You might have lower abdominal pain, feverish feeling, or frequent urination in case of pelvic infection. You need not worry if you do not have any of these symptoms.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
