An ovarian cyst is simply a sac containing fluid or semi-fluid materials that develop in or on the ovary. Ovarian cysts are more common in women in their reproductive years and tend to resolve naturally without any intervention.

Once in a while though, some cysts may persist and grow and eventually reach a point where they begin to cause the woman a great deal of pain.

Other symptoms of ovarian cysts include bloating, pain during intercourse, breast tenderness and inconsistent menstrual cycles to mention a few.

There are many different types of cysts, but the most common ones are those that relate to the menstrual cycle. These are the follicular and corpus luteum cysts.

The other types of cysts are not as a result of ovulation and common examples are dermoid cysts, hemorrhagic and chocolate cysts.

Ovarian Cysts During Pregnancy

A pregnant woman who has ovarian cyst probably has corpus luteum cyst. The reason for this is best explained by looking at a woman's menstrual cycle.

Once a month the ovary releases a follicle, and this follicle is known as the corpus luteum. It houses an egg and during the normal process of ovulation it releases this egg, and the shell (corpus luteum) that is left behind dissolves away naturally.

Ever so often, the corpus luteum does not dissolve away but continues to grow and enlarge. Therefore a pregnant woman with an ovarian cyst either had it before she became pregnant and was unaware of it or it was the corpus luteum of the egg that was fertilized that did not dissolve away as it should.

Effects Of Ovarian Cyst On The Pregnant Woman.

In many cases, the cyst will not affect the pregnancy in any way, but complications start to arise if the cyst bursts, or continues to get bigger or it twists on itself.

If you are pregnant and have ovarian cyst then you run the risk of the cyst causing you pain either when it ruptures or gets twisted on itself.

You have the 2 choices if you are getting pain from the cyst: to have them drained or surgically removed in the hospital or to get rid of the cyst using holistic and natural remedies that will not endanger your baby in any way. I know which one I will choose
