Birth control pills have hormones that control bizarre hormonal secretion in ovarian cysts & thus control the hormonal imbalance &it's effects &also helps recovery from cysts. But as a side effect few patients may get nausea/vomiting.
Looking at the advantage after taking the full course of OC, this needs to be controlled by giving supplementary medication. to control the nausea part.
Pelvic inflammation may be the cause of your exaggerated pain Inflammations to be investigated & treated along with management t of ovarian cysts.
Please discuss the thing with your treating gynecologist, take help for your specific health problem to be free of the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
