Patient's question:
Hello! I was diagnosed with a 36MM35MM cyst in my left ovary last month. I got pregnant this month (the cyst shows no signs of growth this month)! I want this child, but I'm worried about the cyst. Could you please tell me what impact this cyst might have on the fetus, and whether I can keep this child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, whether an ovarian cyst affects the fetus mainly depends on the severity of the cyst. If the cyst does not twist, it will not affect the fetus. On the contrary, if the cyst twists, it can easily lead to the occurrence of miscarriage. Overall, ovarian cysts have a significant impact on the fetus, so it is essential to undergo surgery as early as possible.Generally, if an ovarian tumor is discovered during pregnancy, surgery is usually performed around the 16th week of gestation. Alternatively, some traditional Chinese medicine formulations can be used to suppress the condition, such as Hongjin Xiaojie Capsules or Xiaojie An Capsules.
