Hi there! I’ve had many endometriomas in the past, I currently have one on my right ovary. They tend to not do anything about them unless they’re over 5cm or have ruptured. I’ve beeb very lucky that mine have never gone over 5cm and after about 6mths they disappear on their own. They are very painful and sore though! I take regular pain meds, use a hot water bottle and rest as much as possible. It’s good that you have been referred to an endo specialist. They will know what to do for the best for you, there are lots of treatments available.

Hi thank you, I'm not sure of where it is or what size yet , so hopefully it won't be to big, it is very painfully I'm hoping they can offer something to help with it, thanks for replying x

Hi. 4 weeks ago I had an endometrial cyst removed from my right ovary which was bigger than a tennis ball!! I started having right sided pain back in Aug. After 2 ultrasounds they decided to refer me as it wasn't getting any smaller and the discomfort I had was terrible. Met my surgeon in January this year and she has been amazing!!!! After laparoscopy she has confirmed I have endo and she removed the cyst. There is stu a bit attached to bow but she didn't want to dig too deep.

It's been a rollercoaster the past few months but so so glad it's now gone!! Xx
