A member asked:

Had an ultrasound, my ovarian cyst has a slight septum and calcium what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovarian cyst: 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.
