endometrial cyst vs endometrioma?

Hi, I recently had a pelvic MRI for a complex ovarian cyst, and the results indicated that it was a hemorraghic or endometrial cyst. I was not given any further explanation or opportunity to discuss this, so arranged a doctors appointment to seek some clarity, which I had yesterday. The doctor (not the prev consultant I had seen) said that a hemorraghic and endometrial cyst were the same and there will be no further scans to check whether it resolves/grows? Is this correct, as I cannot find any information about this online? I shared that any information about endometrial cysts online come up with endometriomas aka chocolate cysts - but again he said that this is wrong and an endometrial cyst is different from an endometrioma cyst. Has anyone experienced anything similar or is anyone able to clarify please, as I am now confused & worried in case something is being missed - and worried about fertility issues if it is an endometrioma?! Thank you
