Disease description:

Last year, before I got married, I had a full-body medical checkup, and the report showed that I have an ovarian chocolate cyst. Now that I've gotten married this year, I'm planning to conceive. I'd like to ask, is it possible for me to get pregnant in this condition?

Whether a woman with an ovarian chocolate cyst can get pregnant depends on her specific condition. If the chocolate cyst is relatively small, it usually does not affect ovarian follicle maturation and ovulation, and therefore generally does not interfere with conception. However, larger chocolate cysts may impair ovulatory function and reduce the chances of pregnancy. Therefore, women with ovarian chocolate cysts are advised to undergo a thorough medical evaluation at a hospital and receive timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition and negatively impacting fertility.
