Question 2

I'm a bit worried after getting my ultrasound results. It says I have mild hepatomegaly with grade I fatty liver, and there are small renal calculi in both kidneys. The report also mentions a left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst measuring 39x32mm and a mildly bulky cervix with a few nabothian cysts. There's also some free fluid in the pouch of Douglas. Can you help me understand what all this means? Is there anything serious I should be concerned about?

Fatty liver management often includes lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight management. You may be referred for further liver function tests.For the renal stones drinking more water and avoiding foods that contribute to stone formation.The ovarian cyst may require monitoring, especially if there are any symptoms such as pain or changes in menstrual cycles.
If the cervical cysts and bulky cervix are causing symptoms, they may need further attention.

I can't figure out why this is happening, and it's really scary. Can you help me understand what's going on?
