I noticed a solid mass behind my left ovary measuring around 5 mm. Is surgery necessary for this or can it be dissolved with medication? What would you suggest?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A solid mass behind the ovary measuring 5mm, while concerning, does not automatically necessitate surgery. A doctor will likely recommend monitoring with ultrasound scans and blood tests to assess any changes over time. Medication is not typically used to dissolve solid masses, but hormonal birth control may be suggested if the mass is part of a cycle-related ovarian cyst and to prevent future cysts. If the mass grows, shows concerning characteristics, or causes symptoms, surgery might be needed, but it's not usually required for such a small solid mass

I've been feeling all the pregnancy symptoms latelynausea, throwing up after eating and even when I just drink water. I'm using the bathroom way more than usual, feeling lightheaded all day, and I've got these strange cramps in my lower stomach. But I only just finished my period about a week ago. My period before this was weird too; it lasted 8 days rather than the usual 3-4 days, though my last one was back to the regular length. Since I've had my tubes tied for almost three years, I'm puzzled. Could there be a chance that I'm pregnant, or what else might be going on?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms similar to pregnancy, but since you had your tubes tied and recently had your period, its unlikely you're pregnant. However, if the symptoms persist, it might be worth checking with your doctor to rule out other causes.
