If the cyst is still present after 3 years, it is doubtful that it will shrink on it's own. Birth control pills will halt ovulation, and without ovulation there will be no functional cyst formation. However, there is some disagreement as to whether the BC pill will shrink the cysts that are already there. How large is the cyst? What did this new Dr. say about the BC pills? If you are frightened about the surgery, please don't be. If it is a laparoscopy, it is usually done on an outpatient basis and you will be feeling fine within a week or so. I'd certainly talk it over with this new Dr. and go from there. Let us know how it goes.. and try not to worry..Good luck
I am scared too! I just found out i have a 4cm cyst on my right ovary. I am so exhausted all the time and I know that surgery can really help with the fatigue. Given the odds, I would get the surgery but I am not a medical professional! I am getting mine checked out on ultrasound Wednesday. Good luck to you.
and the cyst doesn't give me any problems no pain at all
