Can Cerazette cause ovarian cysts?
Functional cysts (8), but not true ovarian cysts, occur more frequently amongst those taking progestogen-only pills. If a woman taking a POP develops pain and a period is late the question of an ectopic pregnancy has to be addressed. At one time laparoscopy was required to exclude the diagnosis. For nearly twenty years, we have had Beta HCG (pregnancy) tests, which are extremely sensitive; if the test is negative, an ectopic can be excluded. Unless there are severe symptoms, functional cysts can be left alone and they will regress over the course of a few weeks.
