A member asked:
Complex bilateral cysts on ovaries. is this serious?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can be: There are several different types of complex bilateral cysts that can grow on the ovaries. The type of cyst it is determines how serious the situation is. Testing such as imaging and blood tests can sometimes give some information, but most of the time surgery is needed to remove the cysts and find out what type they are. Talk with your doctor.

Possibly: The word complex is thrown around a lot in ultrasound but it is actually pretty worthless. There are things that look "complex" but are benign and can easily be identified as such and similar with malignant lesions. It really depends what it actually looks like. Were there any other descriptors of the lesion.
