What to do if you have an ovarian cyst but are pregnant

What should I do if I have an ovarian cyst and I get pregnant?

1. An ovarian cyst is a fluid-filled sac or capsule that grows inside the ovary. The ovary releases an egg regularly every month. A capsule filled with nutrient fluid forms around the developing egg. When the ovarian cyst ruptures, the egg is released.

2. This is a completely normal physiological phenomenon that occurs every month for most menstruating women. Sometimes an egg begins to develop but does not fully develop. In this case, an ovarian cyst will remain in the ovary for a period of time and then gradually disappear. This is a normal phenomenon. In fact, there are almost always some small ovarian cysts in the ovary.

3. However, if it is not a normal ovarian cyst, it needs to be treated in time. The treatment methods for ovarian cysts include surgical treatment, drug treatment and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Ovarian cysts have no obvious clinical manifestations in the early stage. Patients are often found during gynecological examinations for other diseases. Later, as the tumor grows, the patient feels it. The symptoms and signs vary depending on the nature, size, development, and presence or absence of secondary degeneration or complications of the tumor.

4. Ovarian cysts can affect the ovulation function of the ovaries, leading to ovulatory infertility, early miscarriage, etc. Ovarian cysts are manifested by lower abdominal distension and pain, lumps when touched, increased vaginal discharge, yellow color and foul smell, heavy or light menstruation, and severe abdominal pain in severe cases. This disease can be diagnosed through gynecological examination or B-ultrasound examination.
