Ovarian cysts and fertility impact on conception and pregnancy outcomes ?
3 months ago
Can ovarian cysts affect fertility? I am 30 years old and planning for pregnancy, but the thought of cysts blocking or damaging the ovaries is making me very anxious. Do women with cysts face more complications in conceiving?

Whether a cyst affects fertility depends on the cyst type and how it is managed. Small functional cysts usually do not harm fertility. Endometriomas and some large cysts, or repeated surgeries on the ovaries, can reduce ovarian reserve or affect response to fertility treatment in some women, so doctors weigh risks carefully before operating. Many women with ovarian cysts conceive naturally or with fertility help. If you are planning pregnancy it is reasonable to have a focused discussion with your gynecologist or fertility specialist, get a preconception ultrasound, and check simple blood tests so you can plan the safest timing and any needed treatment.
