Finally! Ovarian Cysts Freedom

Best Ovarian Cysts Treatment and Pregnancy

A woman who is told she has ovarian cysts during the course of her pregnancy may find this news alarming. The vast majority of ovarian cysts are benign and asymptomatic. Many women will not even know they have ovarian cysts until they are discovered as part of a routine exam or, in the case of a pregnant woman, in the course of a routine ultrasound.

Some ovarian cysts grow during the pregnancy and in particular during the second trimester when certain pregnancy hormones make a woman more prone to developing a cyst. In this case the cysts may never be discovered because the ovaries and uterus rise out of the pelvis at around 12 weeks’ gestation and are no longer easily palpable.

Most cysts can be left untreated and will not cause any ill effects for the mother or child. If a cyst is discovered and medical intervention is considered prudent because of risk of rupture, or the cyst is found to be malignant several treatment options may be considered.

Options for Ovarian Cysts Treatment:

1.    Drainage: If the cyst is found to contain fluid only it is possible to drain the cyst.
2.    Surgical removal: If the cyst is large and poses a threat it will be removed to preclude complications. If the cyst is cancerous it will be removed and biopsied to determine the appropriate course of treatment.

This ovarian cysts treatment is almost always successful and without complication in a not pregnant woman. A pregnant woman requiring ovarian cysts treatment may experience complications because of the location of the cysts in relation to the baby. Surgery to remove the cyst is possible with a good outcome likely, right through the second trimester.

A cyst rupture in a pregnant woman can cause complications which cannot be treated without risk to the fetus. If possible the doctor will wait until the baby is born to remedy the problem and the woman will be offered pain relief for the remainder of the pregnancy. Ovarian cysts treatment for a malignant cyst will likely have a poor outcome for the foetus and the usual cancer chances for the mother, as long as she receives treatment.
