Cysts do not generally make it harder to get pregnant. But if the cysts are caused by an underlying condition like endometriosis, you might have problems with fertility.
Endometriosis is a common condition that affects more than 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the United States. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissues that are similar to the lining of your uterus implant or grow on the outside of the uterus, such as on your ovaries or fallopian tubes.
While it’s still possible to get pregnant, endometriosis does decrease fertility. 30-40% of women with endometriosis may struggle with infertility. Talk to your doctor about treatment options that are available for endometriosis and to help meet your individual fertility goals.
