Patient's question:
I got married relatively early and have been married for two years. I've never had children, but now I'm a bit older and want to have a child. However, I haven't been able to conceive. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told I have ovarian cysts. I used to take birth control pills while breastfeeding. Could taking birth control pills cause ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is possible that contraceptive medication could lead to ovarian cysts, as the main components of contraceptive pills are also hormones. If you have been taking oral contraceptives for a long time, it may cause endocrine disorders, which could result in the recurrence of ovarian cysts. Therefore, if you need treatment now, you should first go to the hospital to check your six hormone levels to confirm how your ovarian cysts have led to your endocrine abnormalities.
