If pregnancy has already occurred against the background of an existing ovarian cyst, then, of course, this pregnancy should never be interrupted. Careful monitoring of your condition and the dynamics of the cyst is required: whether it grows, worries, or causes pain. Unfortunately, emergency surgery may sometimes be required during pregnancy for a cyst twist or rupture.

If you have an ovarian cyst, the diagnosis is established and you are planning a pregnancy, then you should understand that the cyst can prevent pregnancy by disrupting ovarian function. Therefore, purposefully going into pregnancy with a cyst is absolutely the wrong decision. The best and safest solution for health is to remove the cyst before the planned pregnancy.

A cyst can behave unpredictably during pregnancy. Some cysts do not grow and do not cause concern, others can increase significantly in size. It is also possible to twist the cyst during pregnancy with the development of a serious condition, rupture of the cyst, and, in rare cases, suppuration of the cyst, which will entail emergency surgery.

When discussing infertility in women under the age of thirty-five, a diagnosis is made if an absolutely healthy couple leads a regular open sex life without contraception for a year. For women over the age of thirty-five, this period is reduced to six months. If pregnancy does not occur during this time, active measures for examination and treatment begin. The infertility situation is unique and individual for each woman and for each couple. According to statistics, on average, 50% of cases are attributed to female infertility and 50% to male infertility. Therefore, both partners are subject to examination. Before starting treatment for a woman, it is necessary to verify the fertility of her partner, that is, his ability to conceive.

The infertility examination and treatment plan is drawn up individually for each woman, taking into account the identified infertility factors. For some, it can only be drug therapy, correction of the menstrual cycle and identified disorders. Someone may need surgical treatment, for example, therapeutic and diagnostic laparoscopy for infertility with reconstruction of the fallopian tubes, elimination of adhesions, ovarian resection or excision of foci of endometriosis – depending on what exactly is the cause of infertility.

As a rule, functional ovarian cysts that can regress on their own do not require surgical intervention. In some cases, hormone therapy may be prescribed to accelerate their regression. However, true benign ovarian tumors, which include some cysts, do not respond to conservative therapy. Any cyst that exists in the body for a long time, even if it is initially benign, can transform into malignant over time. It is for this reason that ovarian cysts must be surgically removed.

It should be noted that acupuncture, hirudotherapy (treatment with leeches), traditional medicine methods, osteopathy, the use of lotions and therapeutic tampons do not have a therapeutic effect on ovarian cysts. Moreover, in some cases they can be dangerous treatments.
