A member asked:
Will metformin prevent future cysts from forming? will i still develop cysts on ovaries when taking metformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin: Metformin is sometimes given to patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is prescribed to help decrease insulin resistance. It is not given to change the appearance of the ovaries on sonograms or to treat or prevent ovarian cysts.
