Can prometrium (micronized progesterone) make a cyst larger?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: There is no reason and no real way for Prometrium (micronized progesterone) to cause any kind of ovarian cyst to grow. Cysts may grow larger, but it is not caused by the prometrium (micronized progesterone).
