Will I be able to get pregnant after ovarian cyst removal?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 26 years of age married for two years with no kids. I have a cystic structure on my left ovary 2.9 x 2.1 inches. Before I had a tubular cystic structure on my right ovary 2.5 x 2.1 inches which is gone by itself. I just wanted to know what kind of operation is done for this cystic structure and after removal will I be able to get pregnant and the doctors told me that my baby bag is twisted (facing the other side) and the chance of getting pregnant is 15 % lower than the normal ladies. Is it correct? And how it can be corrected?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

As the CA 125 (coelomic epithelial antigen) levels are normal, the cyst is likely to be a simple ovarian cyst. A cyst of size more than 1.5 inches if symptomatic can be removed with laparoscopy. But if asymptomatic then a trial of low dose oc (oral contraceptive) pills can be given for two cycles to allow natural resolution of the cyst. Secondly, retroverted uterus as in your case has reduced chances of conception, but with the change of position during intercourse that can be overcome. For infertility management, it is important to learn your hormonal status and regularity of your menstrual cycle. Please follow up with details. Regards.
