Right ovarian cyst, what is the cause of pregnancy

Right ovarian cysts during pregnancy are often related to changes in hormone levels, the body's internal environment, or pathological problems. It is necessary to specifically determine the nature of the cyst and manage it symptomatically. Cysts are usually divided into two categories: physiological and pathological. Some physiological cysts do not need to be treated during pregnancy, but pathological cysts may require intervention.

1. Possible causes

a. Physiological cysts: It is common to have corpus luteum cysts during pregnancy. Corpus luteum cysts are caused by the failure of the corpus luteum to be absorbed in time after ovulation. It is a common physiological change and usually does not affect pregnant women and fetuses. Most of them can disappear on their own.

b. Pathological cysts: In some cases, right ovarian cysts may be pathological changes such as endometriosis cysts, serous cysts or mucinous cysts. These cysts may be caused by one's own physical constitution, hormone levels or other pathological problems, and may require further evaluation, such as whether there is a risk of malignant transformation.

c. External factors: including improper diet, excessive stress or long-term irregular work and rest schedule of pregnant women, which may affect ovarian function, leading to cyst formation or aggravating existing cysts.

2. How to deal with and manage

a. Regular prenatal check-ups and imaging examinations: If an ovarian cyst is found during pregnancy, regular B-ultrasound or MRI examinations should be performed to monitor whether the cyst continues to grow. Most corpus luteum cysts do not require treatment, but pathological cysts require vigilance against emergencies such as torsion and rupture.

b. Conservative treatment with drugs: For some cases with obvious symptoms or small cysts, the doctor may prescribe appropriate pregnancy medications to help regulate hormone levels and reduce the impact of cysts. Commonly used drugs include progesterone tablets or insulin-sensitive regulating drugs, but the medication must be followed.

c. Surgical intervention: If the pathological cyst is larger than 6 cm and has obvious malignant potential, or causes great pressure, laparoscopic surgery can be performed to safely remove the cyst during the second trimester, usually 15-20 weeks. This method is also intended to protect the development of the fetus.

d. Diet and lifestyle management: Pay attention to a high-protein, low-fat diet during pregnancy, and avoid hormone-disrupting foods; maintain a regular schedule, relax, and strengthen the body's ability to regulate.

The treatment of right ovarian cysts during pregnancy depends on the specific situation. Physiological cysts usually do not require special treatment, while pathological cysts may require further examination and treatment intervention. It is recommended to monitor regularly and follow the doctor's instructions to ensure the safety of mother and baby and prevent possible complications.
