Do ovarian cysts affect pregnancy?

1. Ovarian cysts are common gynecological diseases that can occur at any age. In the early stage, the symptoms are not very obvious, so early diagnosis is difficult. When many patients seek medical treatment, the cysts are already large or in the late stage, and they rarely receive early treatment. Ovarian cysts may affect fertility. Some of the causes are congenital, and some are caused by abnormal hormone levels in the body, which are not necessarily related to sexual life.

2. The ovaries are the place where the eggs develop, mature and are discharged. The follicles at different stages are in the ovarian cortex. If the ovaries are damaged, the development, maturation and discharge of the eggs are impaired, which will lead to infertility. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor, and the mechanism by which they cause infertility is related to interference with ovulation. Certain ovarian cysts with endocrine functions, such as ovarian thyroid tumors, ovarian granulosa-theca cell tumors, and testicular blastomas, can produce certain corresponding hormones due to the different tumor tissue components they contain, thereby interfering with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and ovulation, resulting in symptoms such as amenorrhea, uterine bleeding, hirsutism and infertility.

Ovarian cysts can affect women's pregnancy. In fact, ovarian cysts can also cause early miscarriage in women of childbearing age. If ovarian cysts are found during pregnancy, it is easy to cause miscarriage during treatment. Moreover, surgical treatment of ovarian cysts can easily cause premature birth. If ovarian cysts are found in the late pregnancy, it will hinder delivery and cause urinary retention or obstructive dystocia.

If the ovarian cyst is torsion, ruptured or suspected to be malignant, it should be treated as soon as possible at any stage of pregnancy, otherwise it will have serious consequences.
