What should I do if I have cysts during pregnancy? It is important to find out the condition!

Nowadays, many young women do not do physical examinations on a regular basis, but once they become pregnant, they need to go to the hospital for detailed examinations. Therefore, some women are diagnosed with cysts after pregnancy. Experts say that the severity of the disease varies depending on the location of the cyst, so the impact on pregnancy and childbirth is also different. Whether you can get pregnant and give birth normally depends on the doctor's advice.

1. What to do if you have cysts in early pregnancy

1. If you find ovarian cysts in the early stages of pregnancy, you don’t need to worry too much. It is recommended not to terminate the pregnancy in a hurry. You can wait 60 days after the menstrual period ends and then do an ultrasound to see if there is any embryo or heart tube pulsation. If the B-ultrasound shows the presence of an embryo, this means that the development of the embryo in the body is very normal. There is no need to have an abortion and you can just rest assured and take care of the fetus.

2. Generally speaking, if the embryo develops normally, the cyst may slowly disappear within three or four months of pregnancy. For ovarian cysts, only conservative treatment is needed. Regular check-ups of the fetus and the affected area are necessary. If there is any enlargement, seek medical help in time.

3. If there is still no embryo appearing or no heart tube pulsation after 60 days of pregnancy, it means that the pregnancy is a failure and needs to be terminated. You can have an artificial abortion and observe the ovarian cyst to see if it has grown and whether it is dangerous. If it does not disappear naturally, a minimally invasive excision surgery will be performed. If ovarian cysts are detected during pregnancy, regular checks of the ovarian cysts and the fetus are necessary to ensure the health of the fetus and the mother. Allow the doctor to provide you with pertinent advice based on your situation to prevent any sudden dangerous situations during pregnancy.

2. Is it serious if there is a cyst during pregnancy ultrasound?

Generally, if the cyst is relatively small and there is no evidence to suggest a tumor, it is mostly a functional cyst, which has no effect on the growth and development of the fetus and does not require treatment. If the cyst is larger than 5 cm, it may rupture as the fetus grows and the uterus enlarges during pregnancy, and surgical removal is usually required.

The occurrence of ovarian cysts during pregnancy will still affect the normal pregnancy. Ovarian cysts in early pregnancy can easily cause miscarriage. Ovarian cyst pedicle torsion is very common during the second trimester of pregnancy. Cysts in late pregnancy can easily lead to obstruction of the birth canal and induce dystocia.

Infertility doctors say that some ovarian cysts will increase in size as the pregnancy weeks increase, so you need to pay close attention to abnormal conditions. If you experience symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or abdominal pain, you need to seek medical attention immediately. The doctor will consider the treatment method based on factors such as the size of the cyst, the specific situation at the time, and the impact on the fetus. If necessary, surgical treatment can be performed in the second trimester.

In short, once a pregnant woman finds an ovarian cyst, she needs to quickly diagnose whether it is a tumorous cyst or a non-tumorous cyst, and based on specific circumstances such as the speed of tumor growth, size, characteristics and examination results, clarify the condition and take targeted treatment. So as not to cause harm to the fetus in the womb.

How are cervical cysts formed?

Cervical cyst is a very common disease caused by inflammation, which affects the normal life of female friends. The formation of cervical cysts is a problem that many people observe. Understanding the formation of cervical cysts is directly related to whether cervical cysts will recur after treatment.

For cervical cysts, they occur due to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation. The mucus contained in cervical cysts is often clear and transparent, but may become turbid and purulent due to combined infection. Cervical cysts can be large or small. Cervical cysts, like cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy, and cervical erosion, are a common pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis. The cause of its formation is similar to that of "acne" on the face. During the healing process of cervical erosion, the newly formed squamous epithelium covers the cervical gland duct openings or extends into the gland ducts, blocking the gland duct openings. The hyperplasia of connective tissue or scar formation around the glandular duct compresses the glandular duct, causing it to narrow or even block it. The drainage of glandular secretions is obstructed and retained, forming a cyst called a cervical nabothian cyst. The cysts vary in size, but are generally small and scattered. It can appear alone or in multiples.

In chronic cervicitis, the cervical glands and surrounding tissues proliferate. When the gland duct is squeezed by the surrounding tissue and the gland opening is blocked, the secretions in the gland cannot flow out and are retained inside, causing the gland cavity to expand and form cystic tumors of varying sizes, called "cervical gland retention cysts", also known as Nabot cysts.
