How To Treat Dermoid Cyst During 22 Weeks Pregnancy?
Hi I ve had a cyst drained from my ovary when I was 17 weeks pregnant. Im now 22 weeks pregnant I went to a+e the other night and was admitted thospital. I had an ultra sound and docs now think I have a dermoid cyst. What do u think my consultant will do with this? I have previously had a cyst and dermoid cyst removed years ago
Further decision depends on the whether this is causing any symptoms right now. Cysts causing acute abdominal pain (from rupture / torsion) may need surgical (usually laproscopic) removal now. If it is asymptomatic and small, doctors usually follow them until delivery and do a repeat scanning in the post natal period to decide further course of action. Your doctor will discuss this in detail.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
