How to eliminate ovarian cysts in pregnant women? What are the hazards?

The treatment of gynecological diseases in pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people, and it may also be life-threatening. So, how to eliminate ovarian cysts in pregnant women? What are the hazards?

If an ovarian tumor is found after pregnancy, surgery is usually performed around 16 weeks of pregnancy. Before this time, it may not be easy to perform surgery due to the physiological increase of the ovaries caused by pregnancy, and surgery may also induce miscarriage. After this, surgery becomes difficult, and complications such as tumor pedicle torsion and rupture may occur, making treatment passive and posing a huge threat to the mother and fetus.

Many pregnant women will first consider keeping the child after becoming pregnant, but if it is a malignant ovarian tumor, treating the tumor is the top priority, and consideration of the fetus should be reduced to a secondary task, unless it is close to the third trimester or the condition is relatively stable, then it can be considered. Fortunately, most malignant ovarian tumors during pregnancy are early, and timely and appropriate treatment will have good results. Malignant germ cell tumors only require the removal of the affected side appendages, and it is feasible to retain the uterus and the other side appendages.

Ovarian cysts are harmful to pregnant women:

1. Impact on the fetus

Ovarian cysts themselves will not have any adverse effects on the fetus, but if the cysts cause complications and require urgent surgery, or if the cysts are found to be malignant and require urgent treatment, it will affect the fetus.

2. Premature aging of women’s appearance

Ovarian cysts can cause endocrine disorders, premature aging, malignant changes, and even ovarian cancer.

3. Miscarriage and dystocia

Ovarian cysts may cause early pregnancy miscarriage, ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is prone to occur in mid-pregnancy, and cysts in late pregnancy can lead to abnormal fetal position. Labor and delivery may block the birth canal and cause dystocia.

4. Cyst rupture is life-threatening

Cyst rupture, bleeding, complications such as infection, cyst pedicle torsion, etc., in severe cases can endanger women's lives.
