Hello adorkabletiff,

Generally, a physician will schedule an appointment to see a patient following a diagnostic procedure, such as an ultrasound. Do you have a follow-up appointment with your doctor?

If not, make an appointment. If you do, at that time, your doctor will tell you the ultrasound findings and what the implications of the ovarian cysts, left ovary being higher that the right and the presence or abscense of uterine fibroids,

In general, a physician will receive the results within 48 to 72 hours. An abdominal and a transvaginal ultrasound should not cause bleeding. If the ultrasound technician applied pressure when using the doppler to scan, then you could experience some soreness, especially if the cysts are large.

A pelvic ultrasound uses sound waves to look at the bladder, ovaries, uterus, cervix and fallopian tubes.

A transvaginal ultrasound is a type of pelvic ultrasound used to look at the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina.

An abdominal ultrasound is an imaging procedure used to examine the internal organs of the abdomen, including the liver, gallbladder, spleen, pancreas, and kidneys. The blood vessels that lead to some of these organs can also be looked at with ultrasound.

Hope this helps,
Maryann
