Patient's question:
Abdominal bloating and pain lasting for over 10 hours, no dry heaves, no vaginal bleeding, frequent urination. It might be triggered by sexual activity. Then, after a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out I was pregnant and also discovered a left ovarian cyst. It's temporarily inconclusive whether it's an ectopic pregnancy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Do not eat foods, and also avoid foods that are known to increase milk production (such as pig trotters). It is fine if the size does not decrease, but if it does, there will be problems. You should have a thorough check-up at the hospital every week. If there is an issue, it can be addressed promptly. Ovarian tumors may affect childbirth, and even if you are already pregnant, they may have adverse effects on early pregnancy. Ovarian cysts during early pregnancy may lead to miscarriage. In mid-pregnancy, there is a higher risk of torsion of the cyst stalk. In late pregnancy, larger cysts can cause abnormal fetal position and may obstruct the birth canal, leading to difficult labor. During pregnancy, pelvic congestion can cause the tumor to shrink rapidly, and there is a possibility of malignant transformation.
