What is the difference between a simple cyst or other kinds?

Just wondering as my husband remembered the wording "simple cyst"  on the left ovary on the ultra sound in reference to one of the things they found. I have seen where you guys talk about simple and complex and so on but I do not know the difference. Thanks!!

Hey there.  If I remember correctly, a simple cyst is just a fluid filled cyst.  Complex cysts contain other matter.  And just in case you haven't heard it before I will tell you, 99% of ovarian cysts are benign!!  Hope this helps.
