Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year. Recently, my period hasn't come, and after a careful check, I found out I'm pregnant. However, while being happy, I also have a new worry. I also discovered an ovarian cyst and haven't confirmed whether it's benign yet. I don't know what to do, and I'm very worried. Can I get pregnant with an ovarian cyst?Doctor's answer:
How does an ovarian cyst affect pregnancy? Patients with symptoms of ovarian cysts should pay attention. It is explained that if the cyst is small, it will have no effect on menopause and will not affect a woman's ability to conceive. However, if the cyst is large and occupies the ovary, causing the ovarian cortex to thin, and some tumors can secrete hormones, affecting ovarian development and growth. Malignant cysts can cause great harm to women's health, especially during pregnancy. This is because pregnancy causes pelvic congestion, which can make tumors shrink rapidly and further promote tumor spread. It is best to remove the cyst before pregnancy. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with ovarian cysts should pay attention to maintaining a healthy diet in daily life.
