Does pregnancy cause the growth of ovarian cysts?

Patient's question:

In the five tumor markers for women, CA 125 (L) is 154.98 U/ml. There is a 2.7×1.8 cm cyst in the right ovary and a 2.1×2.0 cm uterine fibroid. Currently, I am 50 days pregnant. The cyst measures 4.0×2.8 cm, and the fibroid measures 3.8×3.1 cm. Is this due to pregnancy? How should it be resolved? Will it interfere with the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids should not be caused by pregnancy, but pregnancy can accelerate their growth. Your uterine fibroids are still considered relatively large, and they are prone to causing miscarriage during pregnancy. Therefore, if any symptoms occur, it is important to promptly visit the hospital for follow-up. In addition to immediate treatment for ovarian cysts, patients also need to pay attention to their lifestyle, maintaining a proper diet to digest and absorb nutrients.
