Combination  monophasic  oral  contraceptive  therapy  has  been

reported to markedly reduce the risk of functional ovarian cysts.

It  appears  that,  in  comparison  with  previously  available  higher-dose

pills,  the  e ect  of  cyst  suppression  with  current  low-dose  oral

contraceptives is attenuated.

Most  studies  have  suggested  that  the  use  of  triphasic  oral

contraceptives is not associated with an appreciable increased risk of

functional ovarian cysts.
