Ovary Ultrasound

[JinnyJoan]

Received a letter to say that they couldn't get a view of the ovary (received this by GP) so more gynaecologists test will be done at the hospital.

Me I want to know what these tests consister of - thanks you

Who knows?  Possibly that wand you are dreading, maybe x-rays.

Could be a hystoscopy, which is an internal scan. I had mine under general anaesthetic

[barry1010]

Might be a laparoscopy, my wife says that is nothing to worry about

[JinnyJoan]

jeepers - do none of you know the answers - then again you are dead men walking if you got one up your penises    LOL

[barry1010]

Could be an MRI, CT scan. We are not mind readers.

I've already told you that I have had a camera up my penis. I also reminded you that is very unnatural whereas inserting objects in to that part of a woman isn't

Jinny, there are so many tests that it is impossible for us to say which one you need. Best to ring or visit the surgery and speak to whoever will make the appointment for you

Several options here JJ, which is probably the best you can hope for from this source. 

Good luck, whichever it is.

This is from the NHS site:

Sometimes ovaries are too small to show up on a scan, especially after the menopause.

Other tests you may have include:

a CT scan

removing a small sample of cells or fluid from your ovaries (needle biopsy)

looking at your ovaries using a camera on the end of a tube through a small cut in your tummy (laparoscopy)

surgery to remove tissue or possibly your ovaries (laparotomy)
