Can I get pregnant with an ovarian cyst?

It is possible to get pregnant with ovarian cysts, but the specific situation needs to be evaluated based on the type, size and health of the cyst. Some cysts have little effect on pregnancy, while others may require treatment before trying to conceive. Ovarian cysts do not necessarily lead to infertility, but if they seriously affect ovarian function or are combined with other problems, it may affect the chance of pregnancy.

Ovarian cysts are a common benign lesion, which can be divided into functional cysts and pathological cysts according to their nature. Functional cysts, such as corpus luteum cysts and follicular cysts, are usually related to the cyclical activity of the ovaries, and most of them will disappear naturally and will not affect pregnancy. Pathological cysts, including chocolate cysts (endometriosis cysts) and teratomas, may require treatment if they are larger than 5 cm or complicated by infection, torsion, etc. If ovarian cysts compress normal ovarian tissue or hinder hormone secretion, they will reduce the quality of ovulation and even cause reproductive difficulties. In order to avoid rupture or torsion of cysts during pregnancy, especially large cysts or symptomatic cysts, doctors may recommend preoperative treatment to reduce the risk. In some cases, such as mild chocolate cysts, endometriosis can be suppressed by drugs or pregnancy can be planned after the cysts are reduced; for severe cysts, minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic cystectomy is a common treatment method. If the ovarian function is properly protected after surgery, the fertility of most women can be restored.

If you have been diagnosed with ovarian cysts and are planning to get pregnant, it is recommended to have regular obstetric and gynecological examinations and keep in touch with your doctor. Pay attention to adjusting your lifestyle, maintain a healthy diet, stay away from high-sugar and high-fat foods, increase dietary fiber such as whole grains and vegetables, exercise moderately, and maintain weight control to help stabilize hormone levels. Pay attention to psychological adjustment and avoid the impact of excessive anxiety on the endocrine system. If you are pregnant with a cyst, you need to closely observe the development of the fetus and be alert to complications related to cysts during pregnancy.
