The decision about whether to use oral contraceptives is very complicated, and needs to be researched thoroughly and considered in the context of each woman's health history and risk factors for various types of cancer.

Since I very much refuse and will be refusing contraceptives , how else naturally can I cure ovarian cysts? 2. Can acidic taste in my mouth with coating on my tongue and lower back pain be due to pancreatic cyst?
I completely understand about the contraceptives. Even before I had my last cyst and ovca dx, I was unable to take oral contraceptives because of the nausea. I am so glad you got an appt. I hope you find something that helps. I am also insulin resistant and I have to cut the carbs in order to stay balanced. The South Beach Diet has helped me, especially since my surgical menopause. I make sure to eat protein every time I eat a carb and it has made a big difference.
Hi, I am new to having ovarian cysts. Ultrasound confirmed a cyst on my left ovary and several functional cysts on my right. I'm going on 26 days now of back and pelvic pain. Just got back on oral contraceptives to help suppress more cysts last week. Is there an average period of time for the cysts to dissapate and the pain to go away? Im on prescription pain meds along with heating pad when it's especially bad. Scary to think how bad the pain would still be if I wasn't on pain meds.
My daughter has Endo and also reoccurring cysts, she is 22 and has had 11 surgeries. They have now removed her left ovary on Nov. 5th and she already has a large painful cyst on her right ovary. She is getting a cyst every 45-60 days and are so painful she is throwing up and can't walk. The doctors have tried every hormonal option. Any suggestions? They don't want to do a hysterectomy at her age.
With such a history I am obviously an IVF candidate which I am planning in near future. Over the years I had history of simple cysts which ruptured spontaneously and were treated conservatively. I have been on oral contraceptives since 10 years. In july i found a simple cyst which measured 2.6 cm, in september it was 3.6, and in november (yesterday) it was 5,48 cm. I was told to come back in 6 weeks for another ultrasound.
Ive had a ongoing problem with ovarian cysts,and during my first treatment a doctor as good as told me long term use of this contraceptive could have been to blame...since then another medical professional has hinted the same thing.I cant help but wonder if this could be the case,after all contraception of any invasive type interferes with normal bodily functions so cant do you any good really.

Only non surgical option is an abdomenal usg which detects only ovarian cysts. I have been advised to continue oral contraceptives till I want to concieve. Then the doc will perform a laparoscopy.

acetaminophen for the pain is OK. hemangiomas are not caused by oral contraceptives nor are cysts. adenomas and FNH lesions in the liver are. If pain is due to the cyst or hemangioma then surgery is sometimes done. You should not have to wait months to see someone. What type of specialist are you to see/ Where do you live?

I've had a few ultrasounds but it didn't show anything unusual.
I've checked with doctors and the only thing they've suggested were vitamins, iron, etc... and oral contraceptives. I'm trying it but I'm not so confident that it'll be effective because my main problem is during the cycle and even painkillers don't help.

If your daughter is in a lot of pain I would suggest a heating pad for about 10-15 minutes on the lower back at low to medium heat. It works well and lets me sleep through the night. I would just let your daughter know that she is not alone in this.
