Does an ovarian cyst affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've heard about ovarian cysts a few times, but I don't really understand much about them. I never expected to get this disease at such a young age. Coincidentally, my husband and I are currently trying to conceive, yet now I've discovered that I have an ovarian cyst. I'm very worried about getting pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Whether one can get pregnant with an ovarian cyst depends on the situation. The following conditions usually mean that pregnancy is not possible:
1. The rapid recurrence of growth of the ovarian cyst, affecting menopause.
2. Certain malignant or large ovarian tumors that destroy most of the ovarian tissue.
3. When the tumor undergoes acute or chronic transformation, rupture, it affects ovarian blood supply and may lead to pus formation, followed by anovulation.
4. Certain ovarian tumors containing endocrine functions, such as ovarian thyroid tumors, which can affect the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and menopause.
