Patient's question:
I discovered a 50x47x46mm ovarian cyst during pre-pregnancy testing for my second child. A month later, in August 2016, I got pregnant, and at that time, the cyst had grown to 90mm. In the third month of pregnancy, a transvaginal ultrasound revealed that it had disappeared. I gave birth to my child in May 2017. In August 2017, a B did not detect any cyst. This October, during a health check-up, a B showed a size of 52x48. Now, in December, the transvaginal ultrasound measures 62x58x56. How come it wasn’t there when I gave birth, and now it has grown back?Doctor's answer:
Irregular follow-up checks are sufficient. After reaching full term, if there is vaginal bleeding, discharge, or intermittent abdominal pain that does not subside, please seek timely follow-up at the hospital to prevent missed diagnosis and worsening of the condition. If none of these symptoms are present, it is even more important to monitor fetal movements daily.Pregnant women's precautions include:
1. Early pregnancy: Prevent miscarriage caused by trauma while maintaining balanced nutrition and adequate intake of trace elements;
2. Mid-pregnancy: Pay attention to prenatal nutrition, engage in appropriate exercise to control weight gain, and prevent the recurrence of gestational diabetes;
3. Late pregnancy: Complications may gradually reappear during this period. Pregnant women should monitor blood pressure, edema, proteinuria, etc. Regular follow-up checks are essential during this time. Avoid cold foods such as crabs and hawthorns.
