No ovarian cysts can be seen in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy on ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Just after getting pregnant, it was carefully checked that there was a cyst measuring 3 cm. However, subsequent prenatal check-ups did not show it again. But after giving birth, it was discovered that there was a cyst measuring 7 cm. I heard that ovarian cysts can cause difficulties in a vaginal delivery and obstruct the birth canal? About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No specific treatment was mentioned. What kind of help was provided? Why didn't the ultrasound detect the cyst? How can a cyst cause difficult labor?

Doctor's answer:

Most ovarian cysts during early pregnancy are corpus luteum cysts, which are functional cysts and do not affect early pregnancy. Treatment is not necessary, and they can gradually disappear after three months of pregnancy.
During late pregnancy, a reduced uterus may affect the visibility of both ovaries. If there is no significant reduction in both ovaries, an ultrasound may not show them.
Ovarian cysts are a condition that is difficult to recover from. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating ovarian cysts and believe that recovery is certain.
