the right ovary is normal in siz & measure 2.4x1.8cm. there is a 4.6x2.9x3.1cm. thin walled anechoic cyst seen in the left posterior aspect of the uterus, probably ovaria in origin. np pelvic fluid collection seen.  ..
wht does this mean?

Welcome to the community. The "anechoic" description would indicate that you have a simple (fluid filled) cyst. Ovarian cysts are common with simple ones being a normal part of the menstrual cycle. Sometimes they hang around longer than normal but most go away on their own in 2 to 3 cycles. Depending on the size and characteristics, periodic monitoring may be all that is needed. Hope this helps!

I HAVE A 7.7 ANECHOLIC  CYST ON MY LEFT KIDNEY. IT IS LEAKING BLOOD INTO MY URINE. IS THIS DANGEROUS?

I can only give you the definition of anechoic cysts. It means that the cyst absorbs the sound waves of the ultrasound and doesnt bounce them back. I dont know if that indicates a fluid filled cyst. (A simple cyst would be good if you have a cyst.)
A cyst is a closed pocket or pouch of tissue. It can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material.
Have you talked to your Dr. about what this means for you? And are you having any specific symptoms that prompted you to have the ultra sound?
A cyst can shrink on its own. Good luck........
