Hi peachmx and thank you for your post.

I’m sorry you are worried about your recent symptoms and can understand you wanting to find out more.

Nodules are tiny, raised bumps or small lumps of tissue. They can be solid or fluid-filled.

These nodules have been found in your peritoneum which is the smooth lining covering  your pelvic cavity.

The right adnexa refers to the region next to the uterus on the right side, which includes the right ovary, right fallopian tube, and surrounding connective tissue.

There maybe many reasons for these nodules such as, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease , Endometriosis or benign ( non cancerous) growths.

Your doctor will  interpret your scan results alongside your symptoms, medical history, and may be other tests if needed, such as, blood tests to find the exact cause.

I hope this information is helpful and you know more about your situation soon.

Please get back to us if you need any more information or support

Hi Tina,

thank you for replying to me. I did have a call with my GP she has sent it as advice&guidance to a gynae colleague. She feels a referral isn’t necessary as she doesn’t know which way to go down if it’s for gynae or another department.

i have had no blood tests done, what can i do?

would it be classed as a urgent referral or would it be A&G 

Thank you 

Hi there peachmx and thanks for getting back to us

Try and sit tight as best you can for now and wait and see what the gynaecologist suggests your GP does next.

It isn't unusual for GP's to seek an opinion from a hospital specialists and from there they can refer you to the most appropriate team.

As Tina said there are several benign (non cancerous) causes for these type of nodules. I am sure further tests will be carried out but it's far better to get the right tests that will give precise answers to what may be going on.

If an urgent referral is needed I am sure the GP will arrange this but as I say try and stay calm for now and see what they have to say.

A common blood test to check for inflammation in the pelvis is known as the ca125, this can be used in combination with any ultrasound findings alongside the menopausal status of a person to calculate a ovarian cancer risk score.

Whilst you have a family history, ovarian cancer is rare in younger, pre menopausal women so hopefully there is another cause for you.

Do get back in touch if you wish to and you are also welcome to call us on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer. We're here weekdays 9-5.

Take care and I hope you know more very soon.
