OCPs: Birth control pills can help as well as pregnancy. Losing weight if you are overweight will also help.

Birth control pills: Oral contraceptives prevent ovulation therefore they prevent cyst formation. It does not, however, make the cysts already present go away. Those cysts will resolve on their own.
