The Menopause Myth Review
Unfortunately there are a couple of The Menopause Myth Review flaws with this treatment idea. Long term use of the BCP is not without its own set of risks - especially for older women or those who smoke. These risks far outweigh the risk associated with the hemorrhagic cyst. Many women want to have children so being on the birth control pill would not be a desired option.
Birth control pills are also made differently depending on the brand. Some prescription versions are so low dose when it comes to the hormone levels that they really do not entirely prevent ovulation. If they do nothing to prevent ovulation in an ovary that forms a painful hemorrhagic cyst, it is a pointless management option.
There can be times when your treatment at home or with prescription medication does not help with the pain and discomfort. In these cases it is not unusual for your GP to order an ultrasound be done so that they can have a better look at your cyst and decide on whether it needs removing.
Size alone will not determine whether a doctor will remove your hemorrhagic cyst or not. Although an ultrasound can show cysts that are bigger than a centimeter, it is not unheard of for cysts of up to 6 cm to go away without further treatment. In very rare cases women can have emergency surgery because of their cyst size, but this is almost unheard of among women who have had regular treatment.
