Does a small ovarian cyst affect pregnancy?

The importance of ovaries to women is reflected in two aspects. One is that ovaries can produce a variety of female hormones, which are very important for women. The other is that ovaries produce an egg cell every month, and the egg cell is very important for human reproduction. However, some women have ovarian cysts, so they are very worried about whether it will affect their pregnancy. Today I will discuss this issue with you.

Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor in a broad sense. They can occur in people of all ages, but are most common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors of the female reproductive system and have various properties and morphologies, namely: single or mixed type, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant. Among them, cystic tumors are more common and have a high degree of malignant transformation. Early diagnosis is difficult, and 70% of patients are already in the advanced stage when seeking medical treatment. Early treatment is rarely available, and the 5-year survival rate has always hovered around 20-30%. It is one of the most serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives.

Whether ovarian cysts affect fertility depends on the nature, size and location of the cyst. If it is a simple cyst and is not too large, it usually does not affect fertility and does not require treatment. For common fluid cysts, Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning. If the cyst is large or bilateral, it may hinder the fallopian tube from picking up the egg, thus affecting conception. In this case, surgical removal may be considered.

It should also be noted that postoperative adhesions can also cause infertility, so the impact on fertility should be weighed before surgery, and the decision to undergo surgery should be made after a certain period of observation and treatment. If it is a chocolate cyst, it can be treated as a chocolate cyst. If necessary, laparoscopic surgery or open surgery can be performed. The pregnancy rate is between 50% and 70%. In short, ovarian cysts affect fertility but do not necessarily cause infertility. Appropriate treatment can increase the chance of conception.

It can be seen that not all ovarian cysts will affect women's fertility. Some smaller cysts are harmless to the human body and only require regular examinations. But if it is a larger cyst, it should be treated accordingly. There is no need to worry too much. There are many treatments, each of which can effectively increase the chances of pregnancy.
