Patient's question:
The doctor said that my sister probably has ovarian cysts on both sides, but they are not big and are benign. The doctor advised my sister to get pregnant as soon as possible. My sister didn't quite understand, and at the time, there were too many people in the examination room, so she didn't have the chance to ask the doctor in a hurry. What is the effect of pregnancy on ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, ovarian cysts often decrease or even disappear completely. This is a relatively common occurrence, but it is specific to each individual. In the early stages, cysts do indeed change in response to changes in the body cavity environment. Pregnancy can have two effects on your cysts: it may cause them to disappear, or it may lead to rapid growth. Therefore, personally, I do not recommend taking this risk. For cysts that have already formed, it is absolutely not advisable to get pregnant. The hormones from the pregnancy are exactly the nutrients that promote cyst growth. Many women who discover cysts during pregnancy first undergo an abortion to treat them. So, decide based on your own situation.
