A member asked:

Could getting my period back while still nursing cause a hormonal imbalance, that would cause ovarian cysts?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not directly related: Ovarian cysts are very common. They occur in many women. The overwhelming majority resolve on their own with no treatment. There is no direct relationship to breastfeeding and menstrual cycles.
