ovarian cysts
advice please for an 18 year-old with ovarian cysts and distressing acne
1. are the two problems related?
2. I took three month Metformine 50mgs/day for the cysts but yesterday's ultra showed right ovary 3.6 X 2.5 cms. Left, 3.2 x 2.1 both with multiple small cysts average 5mm in diameter. i.e. smaller cysts but more in number than the last test. Is it a fact that I won't get rid of the acne until the cysts are gone?
3. Should I be on a different med or stronger dosage of the same
( uterus, bladder, Douglas normal)
thanks in advance
(nb i tried this on teens health and got no response. Forgive

thank you Binx. You make me feel better. But the cysts won't go? Is that your experience or what they told you? What about later in life - ¡ will that effect having children?
Hi,
Im not a doctor but now 24 and also have had the same problems as you from a young age. Yes I believe the two are related. Having polysetic ovarian syndrome causes a hormonal imbalance in your body causing the problems with your spots. Unfortunately the cysts will not go. But don't worry this doesn't mean you're spots wont. I too take metformin which does help with these symptoms along with others that can occur. As you are still growing your body is still changing, they might clear up on their own. If they distress you go see your doctor about medication or creams that directly target acne. And dont worry 1 in 10 women have this problem. You're not alone lovey.
