A member asked:
My ovaries have flipped twice and i have endometriosis. if i stop taking birth control, do you think it will flip again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I am guessing that you are referring to ovarian torsion, a situation where the ovaries twist on their attachments and cause pain. Birth control pills are not known to make this condition better or worse. Stopping them isn't going to help. Best wishes!
