Went to ER Friday, 6.4 cm cyst - discharge paperwork says septated

Hi all,

I'm not new to ovarian cysts although I've only had them in the last year and a half. Both times I've ended up in the ER. The first time (Sept. 2018) the cysts were on my right ovary and ruptured on their own. Over the last couple of weeks I've had intermittent pain but on Friday it was unbearable and I was concerned about torsion so I went in. My discharge paperwork says "1. Large septated cyst measuring up to 6.3 cm in diameter is present. Given its large size follow-up in 6 weeks to assure improvement or stability is recommended. This does not have appearance of tubo-ovarian abscess given its mostly anechoic appearance." From what I understand, "septated" means it's not simple which makes me nervous. Has anyone had experience with a septated cyst being benign? I'm incredibly nervous that this is bad. I am adopted and don't know anything about my medical history. All my bloodwork came back normal from this visit and I'm not considered overweight. I have a follow-up transvaginal ultrasound on Tuesday (had been previously scheduled because my gyno thought I had a ruptured cyst already from the intermittent pain). I know myself and I will stress until Tuesday morning about the cyst being septated. Is it a good thing that it says the cyst is anechoic? From what I understand that means it's not solid. Please give some guidance if you can!! Thank you.
