Ovarian cysts: Can be hormonally influenced; however, doubtful the oral contraceptives will make cysts disappear, worth discussing with GYN.

Probably not: It is unlikely the changing birth control pills will prevent the recurring ovarian cysts.If you know that the last cyst was a cyst adenoma you are probably being followed by a gynecologist.
