A member asked:

5cm ovarian cyst doc said functional cyst monitored for 6 wks & stayed the same. will birth control help it go down or go away? i'm ttc

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Contraceptive pills are no longer considered useful or effective for treating a suspected "functional ovarian cyst" whether it is follicular cyst or a corpus luteum cyst. It is difficult to predict if or when a functional ovarian cyst "will go down or go away". It is also quite difficult even after 6 weeks to tell for sure if a 5 cm ovarian cyst is benign or malignant. Consult a Gyn oncologist.
