Abstract of Study:
Background: In pregnancy, many patients with simple ovarian cyst (corpus luteum) also known as ‘cyst of pregnancy’ found through ultrasonographic examination. Most of these cysts are diagnosed incidentally at the time of first trimester screening ultrasound (USS) and usually resolves itself therefore do not require any treatment. The three type of ovarian cyst, simple, solid and complex are ultrasonically detectable, with their shape, size and nature of cyst. USS has been determined to be accurate in figuring out presence of ovarian cyst in pregnant patients. This study is designed to find out the frequency and associated risk factors of ovarian cyst in pregnant patients.
Aims: To determine the frequency of gestational ovarian cyst form in the early pregnancy or during first trimester and associative risk factors that may contribute in the formation of ovarian cyst in pregnancy.
Material and Methods: Data collected through patient’s demographic history and questionnaire. For every case the patient’s ultrasound images were evaluated to determine the type of cyst, ultrasound appearance, with their rates and location.
Results: Out of 111 patients were included in the study, the total incidence of ovarian cyst (Corpus luteum) in pregnancy were 2. The overall frequency percentage of ovarian cyst in pregnancy was 1.80%. The frequency of ovarian cyst through analysis was found in patients whose gestational age was in the range of first-trimester to second-trimester. Other
109 (98.1%) Patients with family history of ovarian cyst, Diabetes, Induction therapy, Obesity, found no cystic lesion. Patients included in this study were under the age of 18-48 Years.
Conclusion: The outcome of this study have shown that frequency of ovarian cyst in pregnancy is very less because ovarian cyst that form in the first trimester usually resolve itself without given any medication or resection treatment. Obstetric ultrasound has been found to be accurate in figuring out simple, solid and complex type of cyst in pregnancy.
Key words: pregnancy, ovarian cyst, obstetric ultrasound.
