Question : Can you please explain "well defined lesion measuring 2.01 ×1.41 cms with low level internal echoes noted in left ovary"

Answered by Dr. Deepti Verma (-5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Hemorrhagic cyst likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
This lesion in the left ovary is suggestive of an hemorrhagic cyst in the ovary.
Such a cyst is formed by the ruptured follicle during ovulation.
It usually gets resorbed in 2-3 months spontaneously.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards

I have done ultrasound today and is written in the impression that it is left ovarian endometrioma. Is it a chocolate cyst?

Brief Answer:
Can be endometrioma

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
Yes, endometrioma or chocolate cyst is a hemorrhagic cyst and it can lead to delay in conceiving.
However, since the cyst is small, it do not needs any removal to improve fertility.
