Patient's question:
My period has always been about 4-5 days early. Lately, it's been okay, only a day early. I want to have a child. During a thorough check-up at the maternity center, they found an ovarian cyst. I'd like to ask if an ovarian cyst affects fertility?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of ovarian tumors can affect childbirth, even if pregnancy has already occurred, it may also cause adverse effects on early pregnancy. Ovarian cysts may lead to miscarriage during early pregnancy, and during mid-pregnancy, they are prone to torsion of the cyst stalk. In late pregnancy, larger cysts can cause abnormal fetal position, and during labor, they may block the birth canal, leading to difficult labor. The treatment of ovarian cysts requires a comprehensive consideration based on factors such as age, symptoms, the size of the fibroids, the size of the cysts, fertility status, and overall health condition before making a decision. It is recommended that patients with ovarian cysts first visit a hospital for detailed examinations and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of gynecological experts to avoid affecting normal fertility.
