What does accessory mass mean?

Adnexal masses include cystic, solid, and mixed cystic and solid masses, which will be shown on the ultrasound report. Because the causes of masses of different natures are different, they may be physiological or inflammatory, so you must get a good check-up in the hospital to know which type of adnexal mass you have. So what does it mean to have an adnexal mass? There are several reasons.

Caused by endocrine disorders: caused by insufficient secretion of luteinizing hormone.

Fallopian tube inflammation affects: Fallopian tube inflammation often affects the ovaries, forming inflammatory effusions and pus, and then forming ovarian cysts.

Caused by endometriosis: Endometriosis can also affect the ovaries, forming cysts filled with chocolate-like viscous fluid.

Cysts can be physiological or pathological. They need to be examined to determine their nature and then treated symptomatically. If they are physiological, they will gradually disappear. Pathological cases can be treated with laparoscopic surgery, which has little impact on fertility and quick recovery.
