Ovarian Cyst and Pregnancy


Can Ovarian Cyst prevents Pregnancy?
By: P.J. Rice
A cyst is an abnormality that can be pictured as an enclosed little pocket inside the body. It could be filled with air, fluids, or even a semi-solid material. (A cyst is different from an abscess, which is filled with puss.) There are many different types of cysts that can be located in various parts of the body.
Ovarian cysts develop on a woman's ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs that produce ovum, or eggs. Ovarian cysts can affect women of all ages. They are typically considered to be harmless because in most circumstances they are benign, or non-cancerous. The cysts often go away on their own without treatment, but in some situations they grow large enough to cause pain, bleeding, or other problems. In that case, the cysts will probably need to be removed with surgery.
A woman might begin experiencing different symptoms that could cause her ob-gyn to suspect ovarian cysts and request further diagnostic tests; these symptoms can include aching or bloating in the abdomen, abnormal spotting or bleeding, painful or irregular periods, or even changes in urination and bowel movements. Symptoms vary from woman to woman, and ovarian cysts need to be officially diagnosed with a CT scan or ultrasound.
Many women with benign cysts are able to conceive and have normal, healthy pregnancies, but of course that's not always the case. Infertility can also be a symptom or side effect of ovarian cysts. The cysts may affect a woman's fertility if they interfere with the normal process of ovulation or if they are acting as an obstacle: the cysts could be located in a spot that gets them in the way of the normal fertilization process. They could be blocking the sperm from successfully reaching the egg, or vice versa.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (often shortened to PCOS) is a medical condition which is a major cause of infertility. A woman suffering from PCOS has unbalanced levels of hormones in her body due to cysts on her ovaries, and she does not ovulate normally. This means that she has fewer periods per year, therefore giving her fewer opportunities to get pregnant.
The symptoms aren't always completely obvious - many women with PCOS aren't even aware that they have the condition until they begin trying to conceive.
However, one good thing can be said about PCOS: it is not the end of the road. Many women suffering from PCOS are able to get pregnant with fertility treatments and have a healthy baby. This does not always mean extremely expensive things like in-vitro fertilization. Some women are able to conceive after losing weight, which may help improve hormone imbalances, and others have success with fertility drugs, such as Clomid. Women with PCOS should never give up hope.
If you have ovarian cysts it does not mean you will never have a baby. In fact, there are some natural and holistic methods that can cure most women of infertility even if they have had ovarian cysts for years.
