Brief Answer:
OC pills will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello

I understand your concerns about cyst in ovary.

Clear cysts generally contain fluid. These cysts are due to unresolved corpus luteum from previous cycle.

OC Pills will prevent ovulation this cycle and give time for resorption of cyst which already exists.

Hence I suggest you take OC pills as per your doctor's advice. It is likely that the cyst will disappear.

Let me know if you need any more clarification.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Soumya (31 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Depends on the contents of cyst

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Clear or complex cyst are different and depends upon the content.

Complex cyst needs to be defined by what it contains.

Hence complex cyst has to be scanned better. Complex cyst if contents are more wont get resolved soon even by OCP.

Hence lets wait till you finish OCP and then recheck by ultrasound scan for resolution of cyst. Clear cysts respond best for OCP.
