Ultrasound Showing Fibroid And Cyst. Will The Birth Control Pills Help In Treating This?
My name is Diamond I m 23 I recently went to the doctor for a check up I had a ultra sound and they said that I have a small fibroid and a very small cyst . The doctor also said that I should start taking birth control and that it will help my cyst go away. Is that true? Also the birth control he put me on is Loestrin , will that cause my Fibroid to grow? Please advise

Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Functional ovarian cysts are a common gynecological problem among women of reproductive age worldwide.
Since early oral contraceptives were associated with a reduced incidence of functional ovarian cysts, many clinicians inferred that birth control pills could be used to treat cysts as well.
Yes you can take Loestrin to reduce ovarian cysts.
