Hi,
A 32 mm diameter cyst in lower pole of kidney is most likely a benign cortical cyst and needs no intervention. It may be left alone and ultrasound repeated after 6 months to know any change in size or appearance.
The ovarian cyst with hydrosalphinx can be a concern, if you are a women in the younger age group and are having problems related to infertility. Hydrosalphinx is a condition where there is fluid collection in the tube connecting the ovary to the uterus. Inflammation of the tube can occur in infective and inflammatory conditions.
As you are booked for ultrasound, probably a TVS (transvaginal ultrasound) this will show more clearly if it is indeed a cyst in the ovary and also causing fluid collection in the tube. Treatment is usually by minor surgery.
