Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for seven or eight years, but she has never been able to get pregnant. When we were younger, we didn't want children, but recently we've decided to have one. So, the two of us went for a thorough medical check-up. The doctor said that my wife has a cyst on her left ovary. What should I do about the left ovarian cyst? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are generally benign and inflammatory, and they usually do not affect a woman's ability to conceive. However, if the ovarian cysts are numerous, large, or associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), they may impact fertility. If the cysts are large or symptomatic, surgical removal of the cysts can be an option for treatment. Additionally, during the pre-pregnancy period, both partners should pay attention to rest, maintain a positive mindset, avoid excessive stress, eat nutritious foods, engage in regular exercise, and enhance their physical fitness.
