Does birth control cause ovarian cysts?

Patient's question:

How do you want the help: How should I treat it

Doctor's answer:

Generally, cysts no larger than 5 cm are considered physiological and do not require special treatment; they will naturally disappear on their own. We recommend undergoing a gynecological ultrasound examination around three days after the menstrual period ends for relatively accurate results.
After taking emergency contraception, if you have a luteal phase with abnormally decreased ovarian follicles on an MRI, there is no need for special treatment. Wait until three days after your normal menstrual period ends to repeat the ultrasound examination.
Women with ovarian cysts can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. It is important to maintain a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods in daily eating habits.
