Is cyst in ovary dangerous during pregnancy?

Question

My recent ultrasound showed a cyst in my ovary, and I'm also pregnant. The doctor said it might be nothing, but I'm quite worried. Is a cyst in the ovary considered dangerous during pregnancy?

Hey, don't stress too much! Most ovarian cysts in pregnancy are completely harmless and disappear on their own, so just relax and pamper yourself.

Tara Chatterjee · Answer

While many cysts are normal, please make sure your gynac is tracking its size. If you ever feel severe sudden pain in your lower abdomen, go to the hospital immediately.

It's usually very common and resolves on its own, so don't run for expensive repeating scans unless your gynac insists. Keep an eye on your budget and get scans only when scheduled.

Oh my god, I cried so much when I saw 'ovarian cyst' on my first scan report! But my gynac explained it actually supports the pregnancy early on, and by my 5th-month scan, it was completely gone.

I had a small cyst in my 1st trimester but it didn't stop me from enjoying my hot samosas! 😋 Usually, they are harmless, so focus on your favorite foods and let the doctor monitor it.

My scan also showed a small corpus luteum cyst and my doctor said it's normal. Has anyone else's cyst shrunk on its own by the second trimester?
