Ovarian Cyst: Understanding Ovarian Cysts During Pregnancy

🤰 What Is an Ovarian Cyst?

An Ovarian cyst refers to an ovarian cyst detected during pregnancy. Most of these cysts are benign and functional, often forming as part of the normal ovulation process.

🔍 Common Types of Ovarian Cysts

• Corpus luteum cysts (most common in early pregnancy)
• Dermoid cysts
• Serous or mucinous cystadenomas

These cysts are usually discovered during routine ultrasounds in the first trimester.

⚠️ Are They Dangerous?

Most obstetric cysts are harmless and resolve on their own. However, larger cysts may need monitoring due to the risk of:

• Rupture
• Torsion (twisting of the ovary)
• Pressure on the uterus

🩺 How We Manage It

At [Omar Hospital Lahore], we monitor cysts carefully with regular ultrasounds. In rare cases, if the cyst grows too large or causes pain, laparoscopic surgery may be performed safely during the second trimester.
