Does adnexal cyst affect pregnancy?

Adnexal cyst is also a common type of cyst. Adnexal cyst includes both fallopian tube cyst and ovarian cyst. When such a disease occurs, it will affect women's pregnancy and cause infertility. It is also very harmful to women's physical health, often causing abdominal pain and bloating. In severe cases, cyst rupture may occur, and even endanger women's lives. Therefore, they should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

1. Certain ovarian tumors with endocrine functions, such as ovarian thyroid tumors, ovarian granulosa-thecoma cell tumors, testicular blastomas, etc., can produce certain corresponding hormones due to the different tumor tissue components they contain, thereby interfering with the normal secretion of ovarian hormones and ovulation, resulting in symptoms such as amenorrhea, uterine bleeding, hirsutism and infertility.

2. When ovarian tumors grow too fast and too large, they affect the blood supply and ovulation of the ovaries.

3. When certain ovarian tumors experience acute or chronic torsion or rupture, it affects the blood supply to the ovaries and causes necrosis, followed by ovarian dysfunction and anovulation. If it is bilateral, the impact is greater.

4. Certain malignant or giant ovarian tumors destroy most of the ovarian tissue, which may cause ovarian dysfunction, anovulation, adhesion to surrounding tissues, blockage of the fallopian tubes, etc., all of which can cause infertility. Not only that, the long-term existence of cysts may also lead to malignant transformation. The malignant transformation rate is 35% for serous cystadenoma, as high as 50% for papillary cystadenoma, 5%-10% for mucinous cystadenoma, and 2%-4% for dermoid cyst. After malignant transformation, the overall condition deteriorates rapidly. Women whose ovarian cysts worsen will not be able to get pregnant.

The above is the impact of ovarian cysts on female fertility. I hope that female patients can pay attention to it and pay more attention to changes in the abdomen. If abdominal lumps, thickening of the waist and limbs and other related symptoms occur, women should go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time. The surgical method and scope should be determined according to their own marriage and childbearing requirements and the size of the tumor.
