Is it possible to get pregnant with ovarian cysts?

Ovarian cysts are a common disease among women with a very high morbidity. When an ovarian cyst occurs, there will often be symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain. However, for small ovarian cysts, doctors generally recommend regular observation and temporarily no treatment. Some people who want to have children often worry that this situation will affect pregnancy. So, will ovarian cysts affect women's pregnancy?

The ovaries are the place where eggs develop, mature, and are released, and the follicles at different stages are in the ovarian cortex. If the ovaries are damaged, the development, maturation, and release of the eggs will be impaired, which will lead to infertility. Ovarian cysts are a type of ovarian tumor, and the mechanism by which they cause infertility is related to interference with ovulation function. If the cyst is small and does not affect ovarian ovulation, it will not affect pregnancy. If the cyst occupies the entire ovary and secretes some hormones, affecting ovulation, it will have a certain impact on pregnancy.

Some ovarian cysts with endocrine functions, such as ovarian thyroid tumor, ovarian granulosa-thecoma cell tumor, testicular blastoma, 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.

In addition, chocolate cysts have a certain degree of impact on fertility, but in clinical practice, a small number of patients with chocolate cysts are also pregnant. Depending on the condition, if surgery can be performed to remove the ovarian cyst and retain the normal ovaries, then the chances of fertility are still very high. After the operation, you need to pay attention to another problem: pelvic adhesions may occur, which may affect the fallopian tubes, ovulation and pregnancy.

It can be seen from this that if the symptoms of ovarian cysts are relatively mild and the cysts are relatively small, it generally will not affect conception. If the symptoms of the cysts are relatively severe, it may affect conception. If you want to have a baby, it is best to get pregnant after the cyst is cured. Because even if a small cyst does not affect conception, it is constantly developing and changing. If the cyst becomes larger during pregnancy, it may cause miscarriage.
