Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:I want to track ovulation to get pregnant. Today, I had a vaginal ultrasound, and it showed "a 13x15mm anechoic area in the right adnexa with unclear boundaries and internal light bands." For the next ultrasound, should I use a regular one instead of a vaginal one? The "light bands" inside mean that the egg is not developing well. If so, how should I be treated and take care of myself in the future?
Doctor's answer:
If there is a light band inside the follicle, it is more likely to be an ovarian cyst. In this case, it is recommended to undergo regular follow-up examinations to monitor the situation. For the time being, it is advisable to wait for a normal menstrual period or about 2 weeks after the last sexual activity before using a pregnancy test kit. Pay attention to avoiding cold and irritating foods, and it is better to maintain a balanced diet while avoiding spicy foods. Observe the condition of your discharge. The likelihood of pregnancy increases around the time of ovulation.
