A member asked:

I have cysts on my ovaries is there anything besides birth control that will help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss with doc: Symptoms and concerns like these mandate a thorough evaluation by your doctor. Only after such an evaluation, which may include labs and radiographic examinations, can he/she let you know what's going on and how best to help you.
