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, an ultrasound revealed that it had disappeared. I gave birth to my child in May 2017. In August 2017, an ultrasound also did not detect any cyst. This October, during a health check-up, an ultrasound showed a size of 52x48. Now, in December, the size has increased to 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 full term, if there is vaginal bleeding, leakage, 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 paying attention to balanced nutrition and trace element intake.
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 during pregnancy may gradually reappear. Pregnant women should monitor blood pressure, check for edema, protein in urine, etc. During this period, irregular prenatal check-ups are essential. Avoid cold foods such as crabs and hawthorns.
