I had a CT scan done for kidney stone. CT scan showed growth on left ovary. Had sono immediately and was told it ws a calcium deposit cyst and was nothing to worry about but to be rechecked in 6 mos. I was always told you couldn't get a cyst after menopause stops. True? Also what is a calcium deposit cyst?
Post menopausal cysts are more worrisome then pre-menopausal cysts. But, remember most cysts are benignBenign ear cyst or tumor Benign positional vertigo. If you have doubts and are not comfortable with the responses that you are getting from your doctors, then it is important that you find someone you are comfortable with.
At 4cms it is still considered a small cyst. When they reach approximately 6cms, then doctors will usually remove them because at that point they can begin to cause problems, such as twisting.
I do not know what they mean by calcium deposit...and I would be curious to know how they can tell what it is by looking at a scan.
Best of luck to the both of you and please let us know of the outcome.

I'm post menopausal and did have a cyst. We can still get cysts and they still are 95 % benign.. Ask your Dr. if he or she plans on ordering a TVUS (Transvaginal Ultrasound) in order to perhaps get a better picture.. But don't worry.. and try a new post..
