Early pregnancy with a left ovarian cyst can be managed through surgical or conservative approaches. If the ovarian cyst is small and the patient shows no significant clinical symptoms, regular prenatal check-ups are sufficient, and the pregnancy is unlikely to be affected. However, if the cyst exceeds ten centimeters and there is a risk of malignancy, termination of pregnancy should be performed first, followed by prompt surgical removal of the cyst, which should then be sent to a pathology laboratory for examination.
