What does it mean to find a cystic mass in the uterine muscle layer after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Hello, I had a D&C procedure on April 1st and have been experiencing repeated bleeding for a month. The current ultrasound suggests a cystic mass in the uterine muscle layer. What does this mean?

Doctor's answer:

Attached cystic masses can be of two types: one is caused by inflammation and will disappear after treatment. The other type will not disappear with treatment and requires surgical intervention. It is recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory medication for a course of 10 days. Follow-up pelvic ultrasound is necessary. If the mass disappears, it indicates it was caused by inflammation, which would be the best outcome. You are 36 years old, and the best delivery method for you is a cesarean section. Don’t worry. Pay attention to personal hygiene.
