Should I avoid caffeine or alcohol if I have ovarian cysts?

BY DR. BROOKE WINNER

When it comes to having ovarian cysts, you might wonder if you need to avoid caffeine or alcohol. The good news is that you generally don’t have to avoid these substances.

Here’s a breakdown of why:

  • Normal Ovarian Cysts: Most ovarian cysts are normal and often appear during ovulation. They typically come and go without requiring any special actions on your part, so you can continue to live your life as usual.

  • Types of Cysts: There are many different types of ovarian cysts, and while some may require attention, caffeine and alcohol do not cause these cysts to form. It’s important to know that these lifestyle factors are not linked to the cysts you might have.

In summary, unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise, you can enjoy caffeine and alcohol without worrying about their effect on ovarian cysts. Always consult your doctor if you have specific concerns or questions about your condition.
