Hi!

I have a 4cm large cyst on my left ovary and some little folliculus. It will be removed 3 weeks later.

My cyst is sometimes larger, sometimes minor, then larger again, and so on... Is it possible it is on my ovary for a long time? I feel pain on my left side for years. Do you think this cyst can cause acne? I have also acne problems for years. I hope after operation I can get rid of acne too.

    Yes Alexandra, cysts can cause acne.  You should be better once it's removed.

      That's right Alexandra, it depends what type of cyst you have, but some increase estrogen, then there is polycyclic cysts which can make acne worse. hope you get sorted soon.

      I have only read about "PCO and acne", but nothing about "one ovarian cyst and acne". My laparoscopy will be on 28 May. I very hope I can get rid of acne.

      Hi! I went to the doctor because of 10-12 days long little bleeding. Bleeding was beginning on half time. My cyst was about 25mm. I get some medicine, but nothing happened. 3 weeks later I went back to control, then cyst was 41mm. Now my cyst is 31mm. smile Did you have a hormone inspection? Do you have also acne?
