Patient's question:
My partner got pregnant unexpectedly, but when she went for a check-up today, they found an ovarian cyst. Through some research, I learned that ovarian cysts are a type of tumor, and there is also a possibility that they could be malignant! I must ensure my partner's safety now. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Some of them may be physiological cysts. You can wait until the third month of pregnancy to have an ultrasound examination. If it disappears or is very small, and the tumor markers are not elevated, you can continue to monitor it. If you are very concerned about the cyst affecting you or suspect it is a malignant tumor, in the first case, you can wait until the fourth month of pregnancy to have surgery. If it is the latter case, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible.It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a follow-up ultrasound in one month. This corpus luteum cyst usually absorbs on its own, so there is no need to worry.
