missing ovary on ultra sound

[whatever676]

has anyone ever had a doctor to tell you they can not locate your ovary?
I had an ultra sound done and they could not find my left ovary

can they just hide? if so what makes them move or hide

[whatever676]

yes I just had the test done...I had it done because of severe bloating, by stomach looks as if I am going to give birth. when the doctor did a pelvic exam he said that my ovary felt full...not sure what that means....he just told me that they sometimes hide and I ask him if he was going to do another ultra sound and he said no....so I am going to a new doctor tomorrow. I hope this doctor will tell me something

I believe what your Dr. meant was your ovary couldnt be seen on the ultra sound because you may have a cyst thats large enough to hide the ovary so that its not seen. He/she may also term a cyst as a mass or tumor. Please dont let that scare you, if you do have a cyst they are almost always 95% benign.
I was also told they couldnt see my ovaries because of a "mass" which I did end up having surgery (total hysterectomy) and one of the cyst was grapefruit sized. I also had fibroids and a smaller cyst on my other ovary.
Did you just have the ulta sound done? And what is your Dr.s next step or has he/she said yet? Also were you having some pain issues that led you to have the ultra sound done? Please keep posting to let us know...Best wishes (*_*)
