A member asked:
Is it possible for birth control to be able to make cysts in ovaries go away? & if so would it be a lower dose, higher dose or it wouldn't matter?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't matter: As long as you avoid the 'mini' pills, those that have progestins only, you reduce the chances of cyst formation, the standard BCP, when used regularly, simply reduces the chances of ovarian cysts by decreasing the number of ovulations
