Anyone know if the hormonal IUD causes ovarian cysts to get worse? (I forgot If I have kyleena or mirena)

Hi there. I have always had problems with my PCOS, and after trying different birth control options, I settled on the mirena coil. I have had it for 5 years this year, and I can say it has helped, but only minimally. The cramps and "double over in agony" is now less frequent, however it is still there.
After my diagnosis the OB recomened birth control to balance hormones and regulate periods (to reduce risk of cancers related to my PCOS systems). The pill was not an option due to my demanding life style. And while going through my options (kyleena being the choice I made) they never said anything about causing increase in cysts and in my minimal research I've never found anything conclusive to say that it would effect presence of cysts either!š
