A member asked:
I've been on birth control for 4 months but i still have ovarian cysts. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ovarian cysts are generated by ovulation monthly, and wax/wane with your estrogen levels. Birth control pills, depending on composition, can stimulate ovarian cysts, and can make things worse. Best idea is to talk this over with your OB if your BCP's are making things worse, can change the type and possibly lessen any symptoms
