Response Given Re: Endometrial FluidFrom: Rhonda (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 16 Jul 2003 06:46:47 -0500 (CDT)
I would like to rephrase my question to the doctor and make it generic in nature since I do not understand some of the terminology in my CAT scan results, and would like just general answers to my question, not based on me or my history: The findings state: a 1 cm diameter low density foci in the uterus was visualized and is probably related to residual fluid in the endometrial cavity. Could I have a little clarification on the following, just to understand, not diagnose?: 1) Is 1 cm in diameter considered small? 2) What is a low density foci? 3) What is residual fluid in the endometrial cavity; 4) If an individual is post-menopausal (1 year past any menstration/bleeding), does residual fluid in the endometrial cavity indicate "activity" that, at this stage of menopause should NOT exist, and, if "yes", what does this type of activity usually mean; 5) What would the doctor be looking to identify in a transvaginal ultrasound related to the above finding in the CAT scan (I am very overweight, would that effect being able to clearly visualize the residual fluid and determine what it is); and, lastly; 6) I thought a CAT scan would be the best tool for identifying problems, what does the transvaginal ultrasound see that the CAT scan doesn't? Any information that can be provided (as briefly as need be) would be so helpful to me to make it understandable.
