Chhavi	12 cm hemorrhagic cyst in right ovary. 12 weeks pregnancy. Acute pain 2 weeks back has become normal now as I am not feeling any pain. Please suggest whether it needs to wait for itself or go under laproscopy. Does it have any effect on baby or mother's health too.

Dr. B. S. Bhalla	A 12 cm hemorrhagic cyst in the right ovary during pregnancy needs careful monitoring, especially since you are 12 weeks pregnant. According to doctors, most hemorrhagic ovarian cysts during pregnancy are managed conservatively, meaning they are watched closely without surgery — especially if the pain has reduced and there are no current symptoms like severe pain, fever, or signs of rupture or twisting (torsion). Since your pain has improved and you're not feeling any discomfort now, that is a positive sign. Often, such cysts shrink on their own over time. Many times, doctors recommend regular ultrasound check-ups to monitor the size of the cyst and make sure it’s not growing or causing problems. However, a 12 cm cyst is large, and there is always a small risk of complications like: Ovarian torsion (twisting of the ovary) Cyst rupture Pressure on the uterus or nearby organs If these happen, emergency laparoscopic surgery may be required — even during pregnancy. But if you are stable and the cyst is not causing any issues now, doctors usually wait until after the baby is born to consider removal, unless complications arise. Regarding your baby: in most cases, hemorrhagic cysts do not affect the baby if managed properly. But your doctor will closely watch both your cyst and the baby's growth. In summary: Since you're pain-free now, your doctor may suggest watchful waiting with regular follow-up scans. Surgery is only considered if complications occur. The cyst generally does not harm the baby or mother if no complications arise. Keep all follow-up appointments and inform your doctor immediately if pain returns. Always follow your gynecologist’s advice for the safest outcome for both mother and baby.
