A member asked:
Could mirena (levonorgestrel) be the cause of a baseball sized dermoid cyst? only appeared 5 months after insertion and ultrasound for placement. surgery scheduled.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Dermoid cysts grow very slowly, and it started WAY before 5 months. You are very fortunate in that you had an ultrasound that incidentally discovered this before it caused problems.
