The adnexa describes the region encompassing the ovary and fallopian tube. The adnexa appears scarred, likely consistent with a history of having pelvic surgery.
The ovary and fallopian tube was not seen on the MRI images which is consistent with a history of surgical removal of your ovary and fallopian tube (salpingo-oophorectomy).
An enlarged ovary is an ovary that has expanded past its normal size. The cause of this enlargement is usually cyst formation. Other causes include endometriosis, benign tumors and, rarely, ovarian cancer. Each month, the ovaries normally grow cyst-like structures called follicles. These follicles produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone and release an egg during ovulation. Sometimes numerous follicles can be a finding consistent with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or it could be from a regular, normal menstrual cycle
Each month, the ovaries normally grow cyst-like structures called follicles. These follicles produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone and release an egg during ovulation. After releasing its egg, the follicle is called the corpus luteum. Sometimes, fluid accumulates inside the follicle, causing the corpus luteum to grow into a cyst.
The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are located in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones (chemicals that control the way certain cells or organs function).Ovarian atrophy (a decrease in ovarian size and weight) is a normal change to an ovary as a woman ages and goes through menopause. Follow-up is not indicated for this finding.
Women have two ovaries - each about the size and shape of an almond - on each side of the uterus. Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs or pockets inside an ovary or on its surface. Many women have ovarian cysts at some time in their lifetime. Most ovarian cysts present little or no discomfort and are harmless.
