I have endometriosis. I also have chocolate cysts that are still growing.
Is it true that they can destroy the ovaries? ~ endo34
One of the complications of endometriosis is cysts. Unfortunately, they can damage the ovaries, thus causing infertility. If such cysts are still growing, their removal should be considered until they are accompanied by other complications related to their twisting or rupture. Endometriosis itself should also be treated. For this purpose, long-term hormonal drugs are used, e.g. for 6 months. This should prevent recurrence of cyst formation. Endometriosis is a difficult disease to treat, with a complicated etiopathogenesis. It cannot be underestimated, because if left untreated, it gives a lot of symptoms and complications, which in the later stages of the disease are difficult and sometimes impossible to remove, e.g. massive adhesions in the abdominal cavity.
