My doctor found a nodular mass in my annual exam yesterday. it is in the cul de sac between the uterus and colon. Although I have not had pain, when she preseed on it, it was very tender and uncomfortable. She indicated that I should have an ultrasound and blood work. I am 49 and have had mini-cycles twice this year (14 days and 15 days after a regular cycle). However, she did not schedule the blood work or untrasound yesterday and her assistant did not call today, so I don t think this is urgent. My question is: what percent of masses in this area are cancer?
Hi.not all nodular masses found between your uterus and colon are cancerous. The percentage of which being malignant, depends on the tumor lesion type that is present. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gynecologist, is best for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics, such as ultrasound and a biopsy or a tissue diagnosis may be recommended. Management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps.
