Ovarian cyst on my right ovary?
I have a cyst about 6.8cm on my right ovary. On Tuesday I had an MRI and it was 5.2cm. I went to the OB/GYN today and she gave me a prescription for Lo-Ogestrel 28, a type of birth control pill. She also told me to let it burst on its own. I’ve been in a ton of pain. What will I expect when this cyst ruptures? What kind of side effects (weight gain, etc) are common with this pill?
When the cyst bursts you will actually feel some relief. The hormone treatment is only temporary, so there should not be time for much weight gain. Drinking 3 quarts of water a day will help your body to handle the disposal of the toxins and the meds. Your breasts might feel tender, you might get slight headaches.
