Patient's question:
During my health check-up last year, I discovered a cyst in my left ovary, measuring 1.8-2.0 cm. I got some traditional Chinese medicine from the pharmacy and didn't pay further attention to it. After my divorce, my ex-husband and I went to the hospital for pre-pregnancy testing and found that the cyst was still there, now measuring 2.4-2.5 cm. I'm a bit worried that the cyst might affect pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts, as a common gynecological disease in women, may affect the fertility and pregnancy process of some women, but not all women's pregnancies will be impacted. If the cysts, especially when re-examined after menstruation, are larger than five centimeters, not clearly identifying the nature of the ovarian cyst before pregnancy can severely affect early pregnancy concentration. If they are malignant, it will be detrimental to future health. Even in benign cysts, if they are large in size, there is a possibility of them rupturing during pregnancy, which may lead to acute abdominal conditions during pregnancy. If the cysts are benign and small, they generally will not affect the fetus. Early pregnancy can be focused on, and careful observation can be conducted after delivery.
