A member asked:

Have had an ovarian cyst of 4.6cm for approx 5 months. periods now heavier with clotting which is unusual for me... can the clots be linked to cyst?

Possibly: The change in your menstruation and the ovarian cyst are likely not related, if you have a single large cyst like you describe. But some cysts can be functional, and impact your hormones. If it persists, see your physician.
