Is it normal to have Vascular Calcifications noted in pelvis?
I recently had a Abdominal radiography, frontal (AP). My doctor’s asst. said everything was normal but I read that there is a subtle levo curvature centered at L3 and vascular calcifications were noted in my pelvis. Should I not be concerened? I also had a Abdominal, Pelvic computed tomography (CT) that was told was normal as well. However, I read that my ovaries are noted bilaterally and a small cyst is seen in the left ovarian/adnexal region measuring 1 cm.
Jennifer…you are fine. But for future health, I would minimize sodas which are high in phosphates. Try to eat a healthy diet with organic fruits, and vege.s. Eat complex grains, and minimize sweets. I would eat one serving of oatmeal every day to help clean out your arteries/veins. Also try to get omega 3 oils in your diet, like one to two tablespoons of organic flax oil every day. I would also take a magnesium supplement (500 mg of magnesium citrate) and a vitamin D supplement (2000 IU of Vitamin D3) every day. These also will help keep your vascular system healthy among other systems of your body. The ovarian cyst is normal. Drink plenty of fluids and minimize junk food and drinks. This will help the cyst clear.
The vascular calcifications are phleboliths, and are very common. Also, “ovaries are noted bilaterally” means that they were visualized, period. Slight curvature and small cyst are not a big deal.
You’re fine.
