Dear All,

This is my first posting in I villege. I am lucky to have found the website. I will appreciate any response to my question.I had recently done Ultrasound of the abdomen. The report found the follwoing :

2.2 x 2.4x2 cm echogenic focus which culd be hemangioma.
2.3 cm cyst in right lobe of liver
4mm gall bladder polyp.

I am generaly healthy person in my mid 40s I dont drink or smoke and dont eat read meat. I am very nervous and anxious to find all of these. I want to do a second ultrasound to confirm i have all of thse because last time it showed nothing . My Doctor told me its not big issue and refered me to gastro entrologist but i have to weight another two and a half months . I am suffering mentally about the report . Can any specialist please explain to me about these. By the way I dont have any symptom like painf or other and my lever functoion test about a motnth back was normal . One more thing I like to know what is the accuracy of ultrasound ?In my case the ultrasound was done by technician and sent to doctor for report . In my home country and in other country the doctor do the ultrasound himself . Look forward to your reply.

Thnaks in Advance

MS

Beanygurl,

First my apppologies for late reply. The reason I had done the Ultrasound was my doctor thought that I had Urinary Tract infection I asked him to do the Ultrasound. After reciving this report I was in shock I didnt know much about the terms and felt very upset about it . After lot of search in the internet I have found that lot of people have thse condition s. Thank you for writing and support .Can you please advise how can I get some response to my questions from any Gastronetologist in this board?Thank you.

Like I said, the members here can't really offer a medical opinion and you should really call your doctor if you have concerns about your results that can't wait until your specialist appt.

Beanygurl gave you great advice and like she already explained, we cannot offer medical advice. We are all 'regular' folks that share experiences, offer links to sites that might help, but ultimately everyone must confer with their own doctors.

Below are some links that explain the terms - but if you are experiencing stress about this please go back to your family doctor and ask him/her to explain things to you. Bring a note pad, bring your questions and write down his answers.


The waiting is never fun
