A member asked:

I have a small corpus luteum cyst but also a "simple fluid filled" 8 cm cyst the mfm ob said is likely to rupture. will it hurt the baby? i'm 21wks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: If the sonographic appearance of the 8 cm asymptomatic ovarian cyst is "suggestive of a benign lesion" and you and your MFM Ob are not suspecting a malignancy, the risks of ov. cyst rupture, torsion, bleeding ...at 21 wks are relatively small compared to those of surgical exploration. If it becomes smaller and rises above your pelvis, it is not likely to affect the course of your labor either. ✅
