A member asked:
How good is birth control at getting rid of ovarian cysts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Err....: Kinda, sort of. Depends what kind of a cyst it is. "functional cysts" may go away with ocp, but they will usually go away on their own too. Non-functional cysts like endomtrioma, dermoid, ovarian tumors will not respond to ocp at all.
