Question 1

is provera 10 mg safe to shrink post menopausal ovarian cyst?

Accepted Answer

: Provera, a progestin, will not "shrink" an ovarian cyst.  If the cyst is not "complex" on the U/S report, it does not indicate possible malignancy.  Ask your GYN physician for guidance, and he/she may recommend laparoscopic removal of the cyst and biopsy.

Question 2

what prosedures  should i take after using provera (medroxyprogesterone)  3months to treat 3small ovarian cyst but its still the same situation?

Accepted Answer

Just make: Sure they aren't getting bigger.  Having small follicular cysts is not unusual.  Provera (medroxyprogesterone) will not make them go away.  At 26 it's not cancer.  Was it dep-provera (medroxyprogesterone) or oral cyclic provera (medroxyprogesterone)? Are u trying to get pregnant?  If they are small, say less than 2 cm each, i wouldn't worry but kinda need to know the context.

Question 3

does medroxyprogesterone (provera) get rid of ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

No: The simple answer is no.  What gets rid of cysts is your body's natural healing.  Having said that, sometimes women with cysts are placed on birth control pills (BCPs) so that their ovaries are not stimulated by hormones (FSH, LH) and are allowed to rest and heal.  Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a type of progesterone (no estrogen component).  BCPs have both progesterone and estrogen typically.

Question 4

how to tell if i have an ovarian cyst or just side effects from depo-provera shot?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with doc : It is normal for a small cyst to develop on the ovaries from time to time. Ovarian cysts are quite common in women during their reproductive years and may be a single cyst or many cysts. Most cysts are benign and only require monitoring.  Most are cysts which develops from tissue that changes in the normal process of ovulation. They usually disappear within 6-8 weeks.

Question 5

i have a 3cm hemorrhagic ovarian cyst on my right ovary. i'm on provera for 10 days. could cyst be shrinking yet the pain has gotten worse?

Accepted Answer

Need to see your MD: for evaluation and possibly an ultrasound exam, best wishes

Question 6

i have a ovarian cyst of 5cm on my left side. the gynecologist prescribed provera for 3 months. after completing this its been a month later. i have pain in my right side as well and bleeding. my gynea can only see me in july. is it a problem?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: Provera is a synthetic progesterone, and will not affect an ovarian cyst.  Your cycles will be affected and not always regular, as progestins can inhibit ovulation.  If you finished the treatment, your cycle may resume, and bleeding will occur. The pain may occur with another ovarian cyst on the right.  Oral birth control pills may control the formation of ovarian cysts. Ask your gyn provider.

Question 7

does depo-provera shrink or get rid of ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is one of the uses for provera (medroxyprogesterone).

Question 8

i had regular period  before using  provera (medroxyprogesterone) for 3month because of 3 ovarian cyst ..when i stop using it my priod became irregular why?

Accepted Answer

Depo-provera?: If referring to depo-provera, it is not uncommon to have irregular menstrual cycles afterwards, as ovulatory cycles are temporarily disrupted.  It takes time for Lupron (leuprolide) to be completely out of one's system.  It is not uncommon for several months to pass before regular menstrual cycles return.  However, if still irregular menses after 6 months, it is reasonable to consult gyn for further evaluation.

Question 9

hi..i have been bleeding almost every day for a few months..i have an ovarian cyst and been off depo-provera shot since march..could this be reason for bleed?

Accepted Answer

Need pelvic exam: Need to see your primary care physician or OB-Gyn for a pelvic exam to check for other reasons like polyps and infections. At this late date, it is doubtful that past depo-provera use is the cause of your continued bleeding for months. Fibroids can cause irregular bleeding symptoms as well as hormonal shifts. Need to see dr.

Question 10

worried, been off depo-provera 7 months only reddish brown bleeding ..very irregular, large ovarian cyst ..frequency to pee. all this related somehow?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An ovarian cyst is most likely the reason for no menses now.If it is large enough to compromise the bladder capacity it would cause more frequent urination
