IV received a letter saying I have a right adnexal mass on my ovarian pathology and for this I need a transvaginal pelvis ultrasound scan ..,help explain in to me in simpler words ? Also have a enlaged iliac node Shrug I really don't wanna Google it as worried Tired face 

  • I've had one of those scans - is that what you want explained? Essentially they use an ultrasound probe in the vagina. Somewhat undignified, but it's not painful, and all in private. I had a female radiographer who was very pleasant about it. (I expect you can request a female radiographer/chaperone as you wish).

    The actual pathology? Really just saying they can see something they want more information about to know what it is. Hope it all goes well.

Help us do whatever it takes, because we’ve never been needed more.
