The right ovary measures 44 x 31 x 23 mm (17 cc in vol) and the left ovary measures 33 x 22 x 12 mm (4 ce in vol). A well defined heteroechoic lesion is seen in right adnexa closely abutting the uterus and right ovary. It measures 2.7 x 2.4 x 2.2 cm in size.

What Your Report Means 1️⃣ Uterus Size is normal. Retroverted/retroflexed uterus → this is common and usually not dangerous. Heterogeneous myometrium → can be seen in endometriosis or adenomyosis. Small hypoechoic deposits on posterior surface → likely endometriotic implants. 2️⃣ Ovaries Right Ovary: Bulky Has an endometriotic cyst (24 mm) An endometriotic cyst (also called chocolate cyst) forms when endometriosis affects the ovary. Size: ~2.4 cm This is small-to-moderate. 3️⃣ Ovaries Adherent to Uterus This suggests: Pelvic adhesions Possible deep endometriosis 4️⃣ Right Adnexal Lesion (2.7 cm) Could be: Subserosal fibroid OR Another endometriotic lesion Further imaging (MRI pelvis) may clarify. 📌 Impression: Deep Pelvic Endometriosis This means endometriosis is not just superficial — it may involve deeper tissues. ❓ Is This Dangerous?
