The cyst on my ovary showed up dark when viewed by ultrasound, is that necessarily indicating a more serious condition as opposed to being fluid-fille?

Black ==&gt; fluid: Clear fluid shows up black on ultrasound, so if it was black that is a fluid filled cyst. That is always less worrisome than solid or semi-solid. Good wishes.
