i am 14 years old and i have been told that i may hav an ovary cyst. i went to the gynecologist today to get it checked and he is sending me to get a pelvic ultrasound. he said it may be a small one and if i do have it, they will get me on a medication to get rid of it. i just want to know if the medication will really be effective and what side effects it will have on me. i don’t know anything about the cyst but i’m scared that it can get worse. please give me any helpful information on having a small cyst at this age.

Dear Veronica-
I will refer you directly to the website to read the section on ovarian cysts…your doctor will probably put you on a mild birth control pill, which often will assist in reducing the formation of ovarian cysts.
Most likely this cyst will disappear/rupture on its own….do not be afraid to discuss this at length with your gyn.
