Can ovarian cysts prevent your period from coming?
Posted on Jan 05, 2009 under insulin resistance symptoms | 1 CommentCan ovarian cysts prevent your period from coming? I went to the doctors and had an ultra sound,due to my missed periods.And It showed that I has multiple cysts on both ovaries.I have no other symptoms of PCOS,and the doctor said nothing about it.Just that she would put me on birth control and provera,and that I was perfectly fine.I just turned 18 and I have always been regular and healthy,what causes these cysts and how do you know if it’s PCOS? is there any other types of Ovarian cysts that do the same thing? (without PCOS symptoms..Acne,weight gain,insulin resistance..etc) I’m very confused about all this,and I want to know what I should be looking for,Incase I do need to get another doctor.
I have PCOS and do not have any other sign except for the polycystic ovaries. I've always been thin, my face has always been clear, and I eat healthy. I attribute it to genetics… my family on my mom's side has a history of female problems (fibroids, cysts, etc.). Sometimes changes in your diet can help PCOS, (I think due to the fact that some studies have found a link between insulin and PCOS).
Actually the cysts don't prevent your period from coming. The cysts form because your body isn't making sufficient amounts of a hormone that matures eggs in your ovaries and releases them. Most women with PCOS have an excess of estrogen. I'm personally going to get a hormone test done to see what's up.
By the way, your doctor will probably monitor you while you are on birth control.. (same thing as me, I'm on birth control too). And ovarian cysts are usually not enough to diagnose PCOS.
Hope this helps and I hope you feel better! 
Good luck!
