What is the role of Iodine in the development of overian cysts? (in IVF)

[Guest guest]

I have been doing IVF for years now, and I usually develop a functional ovarian

cyst during the suppression phase that messes up the cycle. Functional cysts are

hormone producing, and are rarely produced. Since I find that the research done

on functional cysts during IVF cannot point to a reason for this development, I

was curious as to if this can be an indicator of a pathology that could be

overcome. On a different forum I was directed towards Iodine.

After reading what I could, I only found articles about other types of cysts or

pcos. I don't have either problem, in fact I am " unexplained " . I ask for a

better understanding on what might be Iodine's role in this problem, hoping for

a better outcome for IVF in the future.

I would be grateful for information regarding the role of Iodine in the

development of ovarian cysts. I understand that the ovaries do need Iodine and

are in competition with the thyroid and the breasts. But I would like more

information.

Thank you!
