Whether pregnancy with an ovarian cyst will affect the development of the fetus depends on the nature and size of the cyst.
Most ovarian cysts are clinically benign, but will gradually increase in size when stimulated by sex hormones. Smaller cysts usually do not greatly affect the fetus. If the ovarian cyst is malignant, it will grow larger and spread rapidly as the pregnancy progresses. This condition can seriously affect the development of the fetus, but the incidence is low.
If the cyst grows larger, there may be emergencies such as twisting of the cyst tip and rupture. Or the cyst may block the birth canal, leading to obstructed labor with adverse effects on the fetus and the mother.
Therefore, if a pregnant woman discovers an ovarian cyst during pregnancy, she must adjust her mindset and cooperate with her doctor for treatment.
