Ovarian cysts may affect fetal development during pregnancy.
Usually benign ovarian cysts do not cause developmental problems such as fetal malformations and congenital diseases. However, if the ovarian cysts torsion, rupture and other complications occur, then there is a certain possibility of interfering with the intrauterine development of the embryo or even cause miscarriage; in addition, if the size of the cysts is too large, it may compress the fetus or the birth canal, which may affect the growth of the fetus and the smooth delivery of the baby.
If the ovarian cyst is malignant, the pregnant woman may need to undergo radiotherapy or surgery during pregnancy, which will have a certain impact on the growth and development of the embryo, and if necessary, abortion or induced labor will be required.
To summarize, it is recommended that the nature and size of ovarian cysts be assessed before pregnancy, and if necessary, treated first before preparing for pregnancy.
