Surely you'd agree that fixing the cause of ovarian cysts would be better than putting women on maintenance medication?

Women who share their negative experiences are the Canaries in Medicine's coal mine. The few who are overtly harmed should warn us that there are problems with these prescriptions.

I don't think he/she is discounting the warnings, but simply that Reddit cannot be used to support the 'Almost all of them eventually (or immediately) hate the side effects' arguement and he/she is wondering if there is any data on that.

The cysts were the reason for her taking birth control to begin with, not the cause of the cysts. And cysts aren't something that it's easy (or perhaps even possible) to find a "fix" for.
Any source on this? My wife took birth control because of ovarian cysts. She had issues with the first few types, but we eventually found one that has worked for nearly a decade, with no issues. I know of several other women with this same experience. Reddit (or any other forum used for complaints) is hardly a good example to support this.
