Pregnancy is a natural phenomenon and so are cysts in the ovary. But though pregnancy is controllable, cysts grow themselves and are Functional In Nature mostly. Now, there are two relevant issues involved here -- (a) cysts that are discovered After A Woman Conceives, and (b) cysts there were Present Before The Pregnancy.
The first issue is always more important for the simple reason that pregnancy can always wait till the cyst is removed to safeguard against all hazards.
What Will You Do If The Cysts Are Discovered After Pregnancy?
Sit tight for two weeks to see if the Symptoms Of Cysts In Your Ovaries go away, because they often do. The symptoms, by the way, are similar to those relating to pregnancy too, except for the Pain In Your Lower Abdomen that can also affect your thighs. There can also be an Unfamiliar Abdominal Pressure that can grip you sometimes. Nevertheless, the time for 'wait and see' is over after the second week, and you should go for ultrasound to see if your Ovarian Cyst Is Malignant Or Benign. Remember, this is very important because A Lot Will Depend On The Test Result.
Let us assume that your cysts are Benign Or Non-Cancerous because of the simple fact that most of them are. But even benign cysts Can Cause A Lot Of Alarm. They may belong to the Dermoid Family that tend to Grow Along With Your Foetus. But don't you worry. Your abdominal cavity has plenty of vacant space to be filled up by both. But the Danger Lies Elsewhere. The cyst may become Twisted Or Turn (Medically Termed Torsion) sending sharp tongues of spasm and pain that may seem unbearable. And it May Also Cause Miscarriage.
A ruptured or burst cyst can also cause Excruciating Pain And Discomfort during the later periods of pregnancy. However, chances of getting any infection out of it are practically negligible. Also, it will Not Do Any Harm To Your Baby who will continue to grow normally. And you can still have epidural anaesthesia during labour. However, miscarriages occurring due to Ruptured Ovarian Cyst Are Not Rare.
Ovarian cysts and pregnancy is always a critical issue. When you are pregnant many of the medicines are automatically ruled out. And there are Not Too Many Surgeons who will also try surgery. But the fact is, the cyst may still cause problems to the pregnancy -- and so it must be removed, if it does not go away on its own.

  • Some of the symptoms of ovarian cyst are very similar to pregnancy. Doctors always want to make sure that all the discomforts experienced by pregnant women are, in fact, due to pregnancy and not ovarian cysts.

  • Gynecologic problems with symptoms similar to ovarian cysts are: pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, ectopic or tubal pregnancy, or mittleschmirtz, the pain some women feel at mid-cycle, after normal ovulation.

  • Ovarian cysts can cause discomfort during intercourse. They may bleed, rupture, or twist the ovary, causing significant pelvic pain. Sudden or severe pelvic pain, especially with vomiting or a fever, should be treated as a medical emergency.

  • Surgery to remove the cyst when you are pregnant is very risky. So you must never opt for surgery. Also be very careful about the drugs administered during pregnancy.

  • The cyst may become twisted or turn (medically termed torsion) sending sharp tongues of spasm and pain that may seem unbearable. And it may also cause miscarriage.

  • When a pregnant woman is found to have ovarian cysts, doctors will order an ultrasound along with other tests just to make sure that the cysts are not malignant. But there is actually nothing much too fear. Ovarian cysts during pregnancy are overwhelmingly benign and in extreme cases where rupture occurs, effective remedies are available.

  • You should go for ultrasound to see if your ovarian cyst is malignant or benign. Remember, this is very important because a lot will depend on the test result.

  • Laparoscopic removal of malignant ovarian cysts for pregnant women involves a complex operational process. This is because the surgeon has to be extra careful about keeping the foetus safe and beyond injury

  • A ruptured or burst cyst can also cause excruciating pain and discomfort during the later periods of pregnancy. However, chances of getting any infection out of it are practically negligible. Also, it will not do any harm to your baby who will continue to grow normally.
