A member asked:

How do ovarian cysts affect a person's sex drive? do they increase or decrease a woman's sex drive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Robert Olsen answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes: Pcos is failure of the egg to fully ripen and ovulate. Hence the natural hormone rhythm is disturbed, which can result in depression, distress, prolonged pms symptoms, infertility, abdominal and sexual pain, all of which can decrease libido.
