Did you had Sclerotherapy for ovarian cyst? Then can it recur? Well, there is a study done by Kafali. H. et.al (2011), which supports that it can recur. The study was done to determine whether there is a chance of cyst recurrences after Sclerotherapy. It has been done using 52 subjects with simple ovarian cysts. That means the women had only non neoplastic ovarian cysts. They were subjected to sclerotherapy with alcohol and erythromycin. After that they were followed up for 12 months. Out of the 52 cases 12 recurrences were found. This implies that there is a relatively high recurrence rate.
