Does a left ovarian cyst affect pregnancy?

Ovarian cysts are a common disease for many women. Women should pay attention to regular diet and life, improve bad habits, and avoid diseases such as ovarian cysts. Some women worry that ovarian cysts will affect their fertility. Will a left ovarian cyst affect pregnancy? Is the impact significant?

Generally speaking, it depends on the size and nature of the ovarian cyst. Clinical manifestations include lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal discomfort, increased vaginal discharge, yellow vaginal discharge, vaginal discharge odor, and abnormal menstruation. There is usually a firm and painless swelling in the lower abdomen, and sometimes sexual intercourse can cause pain. When the cyst affects hormone production, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or increased hair growth may occur. It is best for female friends to first determine whether it is benign or malignant. It is best to remove it before pregnancy.

Some ovarian cysts with endocrine function can produce some corresponding hormones, because they contain different tumor tissue components, thus interfering with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and ovulation, resulting in amenorrhea, uterine bleeding, hirsutism and infertility. Some malignant or huge ovarian tumors will destroy most of the ovarian tissue, leading to infertility.

If the ovarian cyst does not affect the ovulation function, it will not affect pregnancy. If the cyst is large and occupies the entire ovary, the ovarian cortex is very thin, and some tumors will secrete some hormones, affecting the development of the ovary and ovulation function, which will affect pregnancy.

Generally, women of childbearing age are most likely to develop functional cysts, such as follicular cysts, corpus luteum cysts, and lutein cysts, which are caused by excessive physiological reactions caused by endocrine dysfunction, insufficient secretion of luteinizing hormone, drug stimulation, etc.
