Question: hi I am having a functional ovarian cyst of 3 cm. size since last 1 year. It is not causing any harm to me. I had a course of 3 months of birth control pills but it still exists. WIll affect if I plan for pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
No it will not affect your fertility.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
I can understand your concern.
Functional cyst will not affect fertility.
As your cyst is less than 5 cm.in diameter there is no need of any treatment, it will resolve by its own.
Oral contraceptive pill supress ovulation and helpful in its treatment but as in your case cyst is not resolved by pills.
If it will persist then you should consult a Gynecologist and rule out that it should not be a pathological cyst.(PCOD and endometrioma).
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.
Regards
