Doctors often start by prescribing an SSRI. These medications are safer and generally cause fewer bothersome side effects than other types of antidepressants. SSRIs include fluoxetine (Prozac, Selfemra), paroxetine (Paxil, Pexeva), sertraline (Zoloft), citalopram (Celexa) and escitalopram (Lexapro).
Eat an ovulation diet. There are a ton of foods that contain the necessary nutrients to help balance out your ovulation cycle and keep things running smoothly. Whole Grains can help increase your fiber intake, as well as Vitamins B and E. Eat more fruits and veggies for Vitamin C and antioxidants.
Birth control pills (oral contraceptives) are used to prevent ovulation. Without ovulation, the chance that ovarian cysts will form is reduced and your symptoms may be relieved. Although birth control pills do not make ovarian cysts go away any faster, their use may prevent new cysts from forming.
