Patient's question:
Does an ovarian cyst affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian cysts are a common type of tumor in female reproductive organs and can affect women of all ages, but are most prevalent in women aged 20-50. If the ovarian cyst is large, it may compress the uterus, affecting its growth and potentially leading to miscarriage or premature birth. If the cyst is excessively large, it may compress both the uterus and the fetus, causing abnormal fetal positioning and impacting normal delivery. It may also obstruct the birth canal, leading to difficult labor.
