Patient's question:
At 14 weeks 4 days, I have a left ovarian cyst measuring 38.34.30. It has grown significantly compared to before. Will this affect the fetal growth and development? Will it still grow later? Do I need treatment?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts generally do not interfere much with the fetus. However, during pregnancy, they may lead to a reduction in cyst size, which requires attention. It is recommended that if an ovarian cyst is present during early pregnancy, it will likely decrease as the gestational age progresses. This makes it easier for the cyst to be pushed by the uterus, potentially leading to complications such as cyst rupture, inversion, or peeling. If any of these situations occur, it is dangerous and requires immediate medical attention.The daily treatment for patients with ovarian cysts primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications while also supplementing with vitamins and paying attention to their diet, eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
