Ovarian cysts: can occur without much help from external hormone pills. Some experts think there is a mutational gene responsible, while others think there is a genetic connection. The presence of higher levels of hormones may encourage the growth of these cysts, but unless you have PCOS, they are rather random. With or without the pill. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
