Pregnancy 6+ week check-up revealed a right ovarian cyst

Patient's question:

If there is no abdominal pain or bleeding, there is no need for further examination.
The help I need: Is this normal? Why do I have a right ovarian cyst? Will it disappear automatically after 3 months?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts are classified as physiological or pathological. Physiological cysts undergo changes during the menstrual cycle, and under normal circumstances, they will spontaneously resolve or shrink within 3-6 months. If the cyst is pathological, it requires symptomatic treatment.
Recommendation: During menstruation and postpartum, it is particularly important to pay attention to nutrition intake, maintain warmth, avoid exposure to cold, and refrain from consuming raw, cold, or irritating foods.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that the occurrence of ovarian cysts is often due to emotional distress (seven emotions injury) or external invasions of the six evils during menstruation and postpartum, leading to Qi stagnation, organ imbalance, and Yin-Yang imbalance. Therefore, it is essential to regulate emotions in daily life and work to prevent negative emotions from harming the ovaries.
