Does a cyst in the left ovary affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Will a left adnexal cyst affect pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Generally not, because the cyst is located on one ovary, while the other ovary is functioning normally. The mechanism of pregnancy involves sperm traveling through the cervix to the uterus and then to the fallopian tube where it meets an egg before returning to the uterus for implantation. As long as this process is not interfered with, it will not affect normal conception. As long as one ovary is functioning normally and there are no fallopian tube issues or uterine problems, it will not affect conception. If it is larger than five centimeters, surgical treatment is required.
