Patient's question:
After carefully discussing with my husband, we feel that having two children would be less of a burden for me to handle alone. When we get older, and also having one child, I still want to have another child. So, I went for a comprehensive health check-up, and it turns out to be an ovarian cyst. Can I get pregnant with a 5cm ovarian cyst? Do I need to be treated before trying to conceive?Doctor's answer:
An ovarian cyst measuring 5 centimeters has already exceeded the surgical indication, and surgery may be necessary when needed. In your case, it is best to treat the ovarian cyst before getting pregnant. Ovarian diseases can easily lead to infertility, and even if pregnancy occurs, there is a possibility of an ovarian cyst rupture or pedicle inversion during pregnancy. In such cases, emergency surgery may be required, which could interfere with the embryo's growth and development. There are several treatment methods for ovarian cysts, but since the patient's symptoms vary, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment.
