What should I do if I find an ovarian cyst after pregnancy?

The pregnant mother was just immersed in joy when she discovered an unexpected "guest" - an ovarian cyst. Some people say that ovarian cysts are also tumors. This sounds scary, which makes our expectant mothers very worried. So, if you find an ovarian cyst after pregnancy, can you still have a baby?

The nature of the ovarian cyst affects whether the baby stays in the mother's belly and the choice of treatment. Therefore, if an ovarian cyst is found after pregnancy, a comprehensive examination should be conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology department as soon as possible to find out whether the cyst is benign or malignant, its location, volume, size and growth rate.

It is understood that malignant ovarian cysts have a great impact on pregnant mothers and babies. Ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, and then as the pregnancy progresses, the mother's pelvic congestion may cause the tumor to grow rapidly, and even cause malignant changes. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is prone to occur during pregnancy. If the cyst becomes larger in late pregnancy, it may cause abnormal fetal position and block the birth canal during delivery.

So, how do we distinguish good from bad? According to data, if a pregnant mother has a cyst of about 5-6 cm, it is a physiological cyst, which will disappear as the pregnancy continues, so we don’t have to worry blindly. We should go to the hospital for relevant examinations and let the doctor judge how to observe and treat it. If the B-ultrasound shows that the cyst is more than 6 cm, we must pay great attention to it and may need to perform surgery as soon as possible.

Whether it is a pregnant mother or a pregnant woman, she should pay attention to gynecological and obstetric examinations to promptly detect diseases that affect pregnancy, such as ovarian cysts. Women diagnosed with ovarian cysts should be actively treated and a pregnancy plan should be made after the condition stabilizes.
