Ovarian cyst?

My wife was diagnosed with an ovarian cyst as a teenager. She never did anything about it because it only causes her slight discomfort while she is in ovulation. We asked the obgyn about it and I wasn’t satisfied with her answer. Will this cyst make it harder for to conceive?

Ovarian cyst?
It depends on how advance the cyst really is. A woman usually developes cysts around the time of her monthly... most of the time they go away. My friend is pregnant... about ready to pop... and her cysts are so bad that they will have to remove both ovaries completely if she ever wanted to get rid of them. I would get a second opinion. If it's a dermoid... then they would have to surgically remove them. I myself used to have ovarian cysts... but mine were dermoids... I just recently got them removed back in Feb. I don't know what else to tell you. But with the cysts... conception is going to be a little more difficult. Good luck!!
Reply:i dont know, but you should get a second or third ob/g opinion and dont go based on any anecdotal or "guess" answers that you might get on here..
Reply:Yes it can make it harder and sometimes impossible. It depends on the severity of the cyst. I would request a more detailed answer from the doc.
Reply:It depends on her diagnosis - without knowing all the information, the information you get here will be suggestions at best.





I would suggest going to a oby/gyn for further evaluation. It sounds as if she may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) - if this is the case, then yes, this condition does make it difficult to conceive.
