Can you be on birth control and have an ovarian cyst?

I’ve been having pain in the lower right side of my abs, beside my pelvic bone. It’s a dull pain with sudden sharp pains. But I’ve been on BC for a year and I heard that BC can treat ovarian cysts. So what could it be? Could it still be a cyst? I am not having any trouble peeing so I don’t think it’s a bladder infection?
You said that you had a cyst the size of a lemon? Are you able to feel that when pushing down on your side?
ovarian cyst is still possible regardless of birth control. if the pain is continuous, you should be seen by your doc as soon as possible. cyst can rupture and cause a lot of complications. i had one the size of a lemon. had emergency surgery to have it removed. my only symptom was a constant dull pain in the abdominal left side. see a doc, better safe than sorry!!
You can have overian cysts while on birth control. Birth control pills can sometimes lessen the sevarity of symptoms in women who have these cysts, but do not "cure" the problem. You need to seek medical attention to have this problem evaluated. It could be many possible problems or conditions, but can only be determined by a though workup and exam. Please don’t wait for or rely on any ideas on what it might be here, call your doctor today and get it checked out!! It might be something very simple and harmlees or something needing treatment soon! Good Luck!
Of course. Unfortunately, Birth Control definately doesn’t prevent you from getting ovarian cysts. I would definately get to your gynecologist, so he can take a look at ya. I hope you get to feeling better!
