Patient's question:
I went to the hospital yesterday for a thorough physical examination, and the doctor told me I was pregnant. I had previously had gynecological issues and often experienced lower abdominal pain. When I went to the hospital for a detailed check-up, they told me it was due to an ovarian cyst. Now, the doctor says this condition affects pregnancy, but I am still pregnant. I don’t know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts affect pregnancy. Ovarian cysts can lead to early miscarriage in women of childbearing age. If an ovarian cyst is discovered within the first three months of early pregnancy, treatment can easily cause a miscarriage. If bilateral ovarian cysts are detected during early pregnancy, if the uterus is moved during surgery, it can lead to a miscarriage. If an ovarian cyst is discovered after 28 weeks of early pregnancy, it is very easy to cause premature birth. If an ovarian cyst is discovered in the late stage of early pregnancy, it can hinder labor, leading to urinary retention or obstructive dystocia. If the pedicle of an ovarian cyst twists, ruptures, or is suspected of being malignant, it should be treated as soon as possible at any stage of early pregnancy. Otherwise, serious consequences may occur. Precautions for ovarian cyst patients: (1) Diet should be light and contain sufficient nutrients, correct picky eating and abnormal dietary habits, and avoid consuming stimulating foods, etc.
