What are the dangers of ovarian cysts during pregnancy?

Ovarian cyst refers to the formation of cystic tumors in the ovaries. It is a common gynecological disease that can cause menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, and even infertility in women. If an ovarian cyst is discovered during pregnancy, it will cause greater harm to the pregnant woman and the fetus.

1. Cyst rupture, life-threatening

As the cyst continues to grow, it may rupture and bleed, and complications such as infection and cyst pedicle torsion are likely to occur. In severe cases, it may endanger the woman's life.

2. Cause miscarriage and dystocia

On the one hand, ovarian cysts during pregnancy will increase the psychological burden of pregnant women, causing tension, anxiety and other negative emotions, which is not conducive to the normal delivery of pregnant women; on the other hand, ovarian cysts may cause miscarriage in early pregnancy, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is prone to occur in mid-pregnancy, and large cysts in late pregnancy may lead to abnormal fetal position, which may block the birth canal and cause dystocia during delivery. All stages of pregnancy are not conducive to future delivery.

3. Premature aging of women’s appearance

The ovaries are important endocrine organs in women. Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature aging, malignant changes, and even ovarian cancer.
