Bilateral adnexal cysts refer to fluid-filled sacs located on both sides of the ovaries (adnexa), which are part of the female reproductive system. These cysts can vary in size and may be functional, meaning they are related to the menstrual cycle, or they might indicate other conditions. While many bilateral adnexal cysts are benign and asymptomatic, they can sometimes cause pain or other complications. Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like ultrasound, and treatment depends on the cyst's size, symptoms, and underlying cause.
Polycystic kidney disease is the medical term meaning genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. Over time, these cysts interferer with kidney function.
