What should I do if I am pregnant with an ovarian cyst? Will it affect my pregnancy?

1. First, we need to determine whether there is really an ovarian cyst. During ovulation, the ovaries of women will be larger than usual due to the growth of follicles, and the B-ultrasound results at this time are likely to create a false impression. You can go to the hospital for another B-ultrasound examination after the menstruation is over to determine the true size of the ovaries.

2. If the patient is not pregnant yet, and the ovarian cyst is less than 5 cm, no surgery is required, but regular check-ups are required, generally every 3-6 months. The patient can also get pregnant at this time, but must remember to have regular check-ups. If the cyst is found to be larger than 6 cm, surgical removal is required to rule out the occurrence of malignant tumors. The surgery can be arranged in the second trimester of pregnancy when the chance of miscarriage is lower, that is, 3-4 months of pregnancy.

3. If the patient is already in early pregnancy and the B-ultrasound results also show that there is an ovarian cyst, and the size is about 5-6 cm, then it is necessary to observe for a period of time, because the cyst at this time may be a physiological cyst, which may disappear as the pregnancy continues.
