Hello strstruk,

Have you scheduled follow up appointment with your gynecologist?
Your physician will review any ultrasound reports and findings with you.

An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac that forms on or inside an ovary. In some cases, the cyst can break open or rupture. In some cases, a ruptured cyst can cause more severe symptoms. These can include pain in abdomen and bleeding.

An endometrioma is a condition associated with endometriosis. It formed when a tiny patch of endometrial tissue (the mucous membrane that makes up the inner layer of the uterine wall) bleeds, sloughs off, becomes transplanted, and grows and enlarges inside the ovaries. As the blood builds up over months and years, it turns brown. When it ruptures, the material spills over into the pelvis and onto the surface of the uterus, bladder, bowel, and the corresponding spaces between.

strstruck, you may be overthinking the term complex fluid and the presence of blood following the rupture.

Regards,
Maryann
