dermoid cyst

[Fadetoblack]

does anyone else have a dermoid cyst? I am 17 weeks pregnant and everyone in a while i get alittle pain from it. It is 3 cm.

What does everyone else doctors say about them? i hear stories of people having to get them removed during pregnancy. I dont want this at all!

Can you have a normal pregnancy and delivery with a dermoid?

thanks

I dont know much about these during pregnancy but my cousin just had to have an ovary removed because she had one of these It was causing her a lot of pain from what I understand. Recent studies have shown that benign ovarian cysts in general don't pose an increase risk to pregnancy like once thought. I don't blame you for not wanting to have it removed during pregnancy. If it were me and my dr wanted it removed I would ask to have it done after baby is born.
