What is the problem with my ovaries?

Q: I had an ultrasound recently; the size of my right ovary is 4 ml and the left 12ml. The left ovary contains sonolucent area some 2 cm diameter irregular in shape and irregular content. It may be collapsing. Please explain to me all about this. Do I need to undergo operation? What is adenomyosis?

A:Your age, number of children, menstrual history, any signs and symptoms that you have - are required. These small cysts in the ovary could be simple CL cyst that will disappear in due course; or it could be a chocolate cyst that is part of endometriosis of ovary. If the symptoms are severe, and you are not responding to medical treatment, you need to undergo laparoscopy for proper diagnosis and management. Adenomyosis is a benign uterine condition where menstrual blood gets collected in the muscle of the uterus and can cause pain during period.
