can ovarian cyst cause infertility - #25971
I am really worried about this whole ovarian cyst situation. Last month, I had this sharp pain on my left side and after an ultra sound, my doctor told me I have a large ovarian cyst. He said it’s common and nothing to freak out over, but I can’t help but think about if this can ovarian cyst cause infertility down the road? We’ve been trying to conceive for a year now, and each month that passes makes me more anxious. I mean, I’ve read all these scary articles about how ovarian cysts can affect your ability to get pregnant, and honestly, I can't stop thinking about it. Like, do I need to worry about my ovarian cysts or is my doctor right when he says it’s usually not a big deal? It just feels so frustrating because I want to understand if this can ovarian cyst cause infertility somehow, especially since I’ve heard different things from friends and online forums. If anyone has dealt with this or knows whether big ovarian cysts increase the risk of infertility, please share! I’m just trying to figure out if I should take this more seriously or if I’m overreacting. Thanks in advance!
