Does ovarian cyst cause infertility?

The woman's ovaries are responsible for releasing the egg. Each month the ovary on one side releases an egg that, when fertilized, forms the zygote resulting in pregnancy when implanted in the uterus.

All the woman's eggs are previously formed in the period of intrauterine life. With the onset of menarche (first menstruation), the woman begins to ovulate and at each cycle releases an ovum from one of the ovaries. The cysts present in the ovary, most of the time, do not influence the release of these eggs, leaving the woman susceptible to becoming pregnant.

Therefore, anyone with a cyst in the left ovary can become pregnant.

If you have an ovarian cyst, see a gynecologist, family doctor or general practitioner for questions and make the necessary assessment.
