The dangers of ovarian cyst torsion during pregnancy

Ovarian cyst torsion during pregnancy can cause severe abdominal pain and may threaten the health of pregnant women and fetuses. In severe cases, it may affect ovarian function and even cause miscarriage or premature birth. You should seek medical treatment immediately.

Ovarian cyst torsion refers to the twisting of the ovarian pedicle due to changes in body position or movement, which hinders blood supply. Pregnant women are at increased risk of cyst torsion due to hormone level fluctuations and the gradual enlargement of the uterus. Common symptoms include sudden severe pain in the lower abdomen, mainly on one side, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, hypotension or shock. Prolonged torsion can cause ischemia and necrosis of ovarian tissue, endangering organ function and the life of the pregnant woman. If not treated immediately, it may also induce infection, increasing the risk to the pregnant woman and fetus.

If ovarian cyst torsion is confirmed, timely treatment is the key to protecting the health of mother and baby. Usually mild cases can be monitored by B-ultrasound, and it is recommended to reduce strenuous activities to control the condition. Severe torsion or necrosis requires surgical treatment. The current minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery technology can restore blood supply while ensuring the safety of the fetus, or remove diseased tissue when necessary. To prevent cyst torsion, pregnant women should have regular prenatal checkups, pay attention to abdominal protection, and avoid high-intensity exercise. If severe abdominal pain is found, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and cooperate with the doctor to take intervention measures to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
