In some cases, ovarian cysts can interfere with fertility, but it depends on the type and size of the cyst. Functional cysts, which are the most common type and typically resolve on their own, are unlikely to cause infertility. However, certain types of cysts, such as endometriomas or ovarian cysts associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can disrupt normal ovarian function and potentially affect fertility. Additionally, large cysts or cysts that cause structural changes to the ovaries or fallopian tubes can interfere with the release of eggs or the fertilisation process. If you have concerns about ovarian cysts and fertility, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider specialising in reproductive health.
