Can Smoking Cigarettes Cause Ovarian Cyst?
I have ovarian cysts, I read smoking cigarettes can cause them. I smoked cigarettes for years and quit recently but use medical marijuana to treat the occasional pain. Does smoking the marijuana put me at the same risk for getting a cyst as smoking cigarettes would?

Hi,
Yes, smoking cigarettes and marijuana smoking both are known to increase the risk of developing functional ovarian cysts. I am sorry you need to curtail even use of marijuana.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
