Ovarian cysts are common and can develop while the woman is taking birth control. The implications of a cyst vary widely and it would be prudent to consult your gynecologist. For information: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK560541/

A member asked:

I am 37. After being off birth controll pills for several years, is it ok to restart them now even though I was found to have a 13 cm ovarian cyst? The cyst was 5 cm in 2016, so it has grown. Will restarting pills make the situation worse in any way?
