“…The authors of several studies have stated that spontaneous observation is as effective as oral contraceptives, which is consistent with the present study 5,14–16 . If hormonal treatment and expectant management is compared for the treatment of functional ovarian cysts occurring due to ovulation induction, some conceptions point out hormonal treatment to be ineffective.…”

“…Studies have been carried out to compare expectant management with hormonal suppression in such ovarian cysts, but no clear advantages have been established. 28 It has been suggested that the presence of ovarian cysts prior to administration of GnRH agonists delays downregulation and leads to increased utilisation of gonadotrophins; however, it does not appear to impact on the pregnancy rate. 29 The other circumstance in which ovarian cyst disease may impact on reproductive function is in cases in which ovarian surgery has been previously carried out.…”

As high‐resolution transvaginal ultrasound becomes more widely available, asymptomatic cysts are diagnosed with increasing frequency. Womens' anxieties centre on the risk of cancer and possible loss of fertility due to the cyst and treatment complications. Investigations include measurement of serum tumour markers, basic assessment of ovarian function, transvaginal ultrasonography and possibly cyst fluid cytology. While a proportion of simple cysts will resolve spontaneously, others require surgical management. Laparoscopic surgery is the treatment of choice in young women at low risk of malignancy.

“…A review (54) concluded that low-dose monophasic or multiphasic birth control pills have minimal or no effect on the prevalence or development of functional ovarian cysts. A randomized study found expectant management compared to oral contraception for one cycle for ovarian cysts after ovulation induction to be equally effective, as around 74% in both groups experienced complete resolution (55).…”
