Ultrasound Results Being Pushed Back?

I had an ultrasound on the 15th, following some abdominal pain, bloating, etc. I was told I should get the results today, but when I called up, the GP is now saying Wednesday. I'm quite concerned, as obviously I could see the ultrasound screen, and the nurse performing it seemed to go quiet when looking at the side with the pain on. There's a very obvious cyst on the opposite side, but on the painful side, I couldn't see any cyst. The pain has also been getting worse, and is beginning to shoot down my leg.

Is it normal for results to be delayed, or is it a sign of things to come?

  • Hi Trioceros and welcome to the forum.

    It's really easy to think the worst when watching people's reactions and behaviours but the nurse may have gone quiet so they could concentrate and make sure they got all the relevant images needed for a medical assessment to be made. 

    Due to Covid delays to results are, sadly, becoming more common but I hope you're able to get yours today and they bring good news.

    Kind regards,
