The next steps

[bluesky8_]

Hi all,

I recently had an ultrasound scan and got my results back - luckily, everything looked normal. There was free fluid in my cervix but, the doctor was concerned by this. However, he said he would like me to get referred to a specialist and endo doesn’t show up on scans - I’m just glad it ruled out other possibilities!

So, am currently waiting to get referred which I can imagine will take a while but, I am feeling slightly positive until that time comes! Can anyone tell me what I could except from this??? And having nothing on my scans, does this mean that the likelihood of having endo is less likely or should I still be somewhat concerned?

Thanks all

As you have said yourself endo does not show up on scans you will need a endo specialist to confirm only someone confident in identifying endo on a scan will see it x

Hiya,

I have had a few transvaginal ultrasounds that have all been clear and show nothing to worry about and then was diagnosed with stage 4 after my laparoscopy. Who knows when it comes to the ultrasounds, it depends on if you have cysts or not as they are easier to see on the ultrasound.

Ultrasounds don’t show endo. I had a clear scan and when I got surgery, was diagnosed with stage III and had to have a bowel resection.

I’d say, trust the symptoms you’re having to be a more reliable indicator.
