Patient's question:
Last month, during my health check-up, the doctor carefully discovered that I had ovarian cysts. At first, the doctor suggested waiting for a period of time to monitor them closely. Later, during a follow-up examination, it was found that the cysts had shrunk, and the doctor recommended surgery. However, I haven't had children yet, and I'm a bit worried. Could you please tell me if surgery for ovarian cysts affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
The so-called ovarian cyst refers to a cyst that grows in the ovary, not in the uterus. Under normal circumstances, as long as the ovarian function is not abnormal, it will never affect fertility. Surgery is performed to remove the ovarian cyst, and it will never damage the ovary. After the surgery, it is still possible for the cyst to recur, and hormonal changes may occur. Especially during the first three months of pregnancy, the cyst may be relatively more affected, so it is necessary to have regular follow-up examinations.
