About 95% of ovarian cysts are benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Because some ovarian cysts are harmless while others pose an imminent threat to your health, ovarian cyst treatment can vary, depending on your individual circumstances.
This page will outline and discuss the various forms of ovarian cyst treatment available for different types of ovarian cysts.
Oral Contraceptives
Birth control pills are a condensed form of estrogen and progesterone that control a woman’s monthly cycle. By taking oral contraceptives and skipping the sugar pills, a woman can prevent her period from coming.
Taking birth control pills to skip periods prevents the growth of ovarian cysts, because ovarian cysts, especially the functional cysts, can’t form if you aren’t menstruating (namely because your ovaries aren’t releasing eggs).
Women who have a personal and family history of ovarian cysts are usually prescribed birth control pills as a ovarian cyst treatment for and in the prevention of ovarian cysts.
The problem with birth control pills is that they might cure the actual symptoms but they don't cure the cyst. The chances are that after taking oral contraceptives, your ovarian cyst may return. This is why it's important to address the root cause of your ovarian cyst.
