A 28-year-old female asked:
can bilateral ovarian cysts cause hard, dry stool and other gi/digestion issues? (cysts 2.9 - 3.4 cm)

Perhaps: The small size of the ovarian cysts are unlikely to be causing such changes to your digestion, although endometriosis can certainly cause GI disturbances. Hard stool may be a sign of need to increase your water intake as well.
