Question 5

what causes calcium deposits in or on the ovaries? my obgyn  mentioned it today during my exam and i just want some more information. thanks.

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst and cal: If this was found by ultrasound, the two most common reasons would be that you have a dermoid cyst (benign cystic teratoma) or a serous cyst with psammoma bodies (calcified cells).  With those findings, i presume your gynecologist will suggest a laparoscopy to remove the cyst.

Question 6

what are calcium deposits in the urine?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes the level: of calcium in the urine or blood is so high that it precipitates and forms deposits in the kidney called nephrocalcinosis. The is related to, but not the same as kidney stones. It can be caused by several genetic syndromes, hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D toxicity, certain meds, TB, renal tubular acidosis, etc. It is usually managed by treated the underlying condition. Good wishes:)

Question 8

what are calcium deposits on the lungs?

Accepted Answer

Usually granulomas: Calcifications seen on chest chest xray are common - often old granulomas, or lymph nodes that were involved in an infection long in the past, that have become calcified over time. Commonly this is from minor histoplasmosis infections. Other causes can be certain tumors of the pleura with calcification of the lining of the lung, or TB with calcifications seen at the apex of the lung.

Question 9

i think i have calcium deposits on my scalp ?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is unlikely that you have calcium deposits in just your scalp. What makes you say so? Do you have any symptoms? It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. 
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
