A member asked:
What do you suggest if my ovaries have flipped twice and i have endometriosis and if i stop taking birth control do you think it will flip again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
?: If you mean ovarian torsion by 'flipped', the use of birth control only indirectly affects this. Large ovarian cysts can lead to torsion, and birth control can reduce cyst formation. Endometriosis has little to nothing to do with torsion, except that torsion is rare in severe endo because the ovaries are often socked into the pelvis and can't move.
