I found out during an ER visit because of massive bleeding and pain that a complex cyst my gyn was watching now has formed a daughter cyst with septation. Ive heard awful things about septation and what it could mean. I have a gyn appt but not for a few weeks. I still have lots of pain constantly. If youve had a cyst with septation please be honest and dont sugar coat to try not to scare me. Im just looking for clarity.
From what my GP has told me from my general ER follow up (i have a gyn follow up in a few weeks) its a wall that separates a portion of a cyst. From what ive read in the 90s and prior it meant an automatic hysterectomy because it was thought to be linked to ovarian cancer. Now its a case by case basis. For me i had a complex cyst already and a septation (wall) had created a daughter cyst out of it.
I never heard of septation? Can iasked what it is.
I remember I had retractile clots with my cyst like it ruptured and kept bleeding into itself
I saw my GP yesterday as a general followup. He said septation was a like a wall separating parts or offshoots of a cyst. But a gyn will take a more indepth look.
I remember when I was in Er with a ruptured bleeding cysts it said something about incomplete separations but they never explained that . What it meant. Also I’m not even sure if the er dr was skilled in endo and could differentiate by u sound it was a normal ruptured bleeding cyst or an endometrioma. I’m wondering what incomplete separations meant now...
