Can you get pregnant if you have an ovarian cyst?

Patient's question:

During this period, I have had early pregnancy symptoms. Today, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the result showed that I am two months pregnant. However, a thorough examination also revealed that I have an ovarian cyst. The doctor said the cyst is benign and suggested that I wait and see for a while. But I am still very worried. Can a person with an ovarian cyst get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Resolution of Benign Ovarian Cysts
1. If a benign ovarian cyst is detected within 3 months of pregnancy, close and meticulous observation can be conducted. Surgical removal can be considered during the second trimester of pregnancy (4–6 months).
2. During pregnancy, if complications such as cyst rupture, pedicle inversion, or cyst rupture occur, surgical intervention should be performed promptly.
3. For late-stage pregnancy patients with benign ovarian cysts that do not affect full-term pregnancy or labor, surgery is generally not performed immediately. Close and meticulous observation can be maintained, and surgery can be scheduled after labor.
In addition, during the treatment of ovarian cysts, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and a consistently cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the complete recovery of the ovarian cyst.
