What is a left adnexal cysist?


Question:


Answers:
Adnexa simply refers to the ovaries [and oviducts] in relation to the uterus, meaning where they join the uterus. A left adnexal cyst means you have an ovarian cyst located on the left ovary, where the ovary joins [or "meets"] the uterus. Most adnexal cysts are benign, but sometimes require surgical treatment, particularly when the ovary becomes torsed [or twisted] as a result. Good luck.

Other Answers:
The adnexae (plural of adnexa) are the structures to the side of the uterus: the ovaries, the Falopian tubes, the supporting ligaments and the vessels.
An adnexal cyst is a fluid filled space, seen typically on ultrasound, that may represent an Ovarian cyst (most commonly), Fluid-filled tube or Collection of fluid in the area trapped by adhesions (scars on the inside).
It is your doctor's DUTY to explain this.
I presume you were given a report of some type. Most cysts of the ovary less than 3 centimeters are NORMAL. The ovary produces at least one each time you ovulate.
