What is the best birth control for endometriosis and ovarian cysts?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Any of them: Any birth control pill will generally help both endometriosis and ovarian cysts. Your doctor may change it if you need a higher dose. However.

Homonal method: Any hormonal contraceptive can suppress the ovaries and suppress endometriosis. I agree with the above answer - however, depo-provera can be effective as well.
