Endometriosis (chocolate cyst) is a treatable condition. Treatment approaches are personalized based on the patient's symptoms and future reproductive desires.
For women primarily experiencing pain, medical treatment is prioritized. In advanced cases where women desire children but have not benefited from assisted reproductive techniques (insemination, IVF), surgical treatment may be considered. For patients struggling with conception, assisted reproductive techniques (e.g., insemination and IVF) are initially recommended. If pregnancy is not achieved with these methods, surgical removal of the disease may be pursued.
Surgical treatment may include laparoscopic removal of endometriomas (chocolate cysts), lysis of adhesions, restoration of the normal anatomy of the fallopian tubes, or excision of deep infiltrative endometriosis nodules causing severe pain.
Especially in women over 40, endometriomas should be monitored more carefully due to the risk of developing ovarian cancer. If suspicious findings are detected on ultrasonography or MRI, removal of the affected ovary and fallopian tube may be necessary.
