Does ovarian cyst cause female infertility?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, I went to the gynecology department for a thorough examination and found an ovarian cyst. The doctor said there is a mass in my abdomen, and when he pressed on my stomach, the mass would hurt a bit. The doctor said this might be due to inflammation and suggested that surgery might be a good treatment option.
What kind of help is needed: Can an ovarian cyst cause infertility in patients?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts generally do not cause infertility, but if you have an ovarian cyst, you need to go to the hospital for timely examination and symptomatic treatment to conceive. Otherwise, after conception, excessive hormone secretion may lead to cyst rupture and internal bleeding. It is recommended that you can undergo a gynecological ultrasound. If it is greater than 5 centimeters, surgical treatment should be considered.
