Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am now 16 weeks pregnant. Before pregnancy, I was diagnosed with a left ovarian cyst and took Jujube and Bupleurum Capsules for several months, but it had no effect. Now, an ultrasound shows the cyst is 483531, while it was 454535 before pregnancy, with little change. I would like to know if this cyst will affect the fetus and whether it might rupture as the pregnancy progresses and the fetus grows. Can this pregnancy still be carried to term?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after pregnancy, the hormone level increases, which may lead to luteal cysts. If there were cysts before pregnancy, this could be an inflammatory cyst. If the baby is desired, this condition should be followed up regularly. If it is a luteal cyst, most will gradually disappear. If it is an inflammatory cyst, it can be left until full term, and a cesarean section with cyst removal can be chosen. During pregnancy, if torsion occurs, laparotomy should be performed promptly.
