What Is a Hemorrhagic Cyst?

10. How Can a Hemorrhagic Cyst Be Prevented?
Ovarian cysts are very common in the childbearing population, and most of them do not have a specific cause or prevention method. Those who frequently have cysts may be suffering from PCOS, so treating this underlying condition can also reduce the number of cysts that occur.
Another possible prevention method is taking hormonal birth control to even out hormone imbalances and regulate ovulation. Some individuals taking hormonal birth control do not ovulate at all, which reduces the chance of developing a cyst during the corpus luteum phase. Any menstrual cycle changes that are persistent should be reported to a doctor for evaluation.
