Patient's question:
I'm about to have a baby, but after a thorough check-up at Yunnan People's Hospital, I was told I have an ovarian cyst. Will it interfere with getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts often manifest in clinical diagnosis with symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal odor, and menstrual irregularities. Additionally, a solid and painless mass is usually present in the lower abdomen, and pain may recur during sexual intercourse. Ovarian cysts are one of the causes of infertility. The ovaries are the site where eggs develop, mature, and are released. If the ovaries develop cysts, the inflamed areas lose their function in promoting egg development, maturation, and release, leading to infertility. Certain ovarian cysts containing endocrine functions can produce additional hormones, affecting the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and menopause, resulting in infertility.
