Impact of Endometrioma

[daddosa]

I'm 36 years old. A year ago I have been operated to extract an Endometrioma above my left ovary and I have also done a microscopic check over my both ovaries.
I have been feeling the same symptoms of the Endometrioma again in the same place few month ago; the same pain before, during and after the period !

I wish to have another baby and I need to know what are my chances in case i have an Endometrioma again and how far it would affect my ovary and my chance to concieve again?

thanks

Dear Shelly, thanks a lot for your comment. It feels good to share your pain and know that you are not the only one who suffer.
My previous endometrioma was 4.1 x 3.6 cm but thank God the doctor removed it with no effect on my ovary, however i have been trying since then to get pregnant with no use !
I'm waiting for my next period to go and make ultra sound or MRI as it become clear within the period time. I think i will follow with a gyna afterwards.

So sorry to hear you feel the same pains again...not fun!   I had an endometrioma removed years ago before my ovca dx and I subsequently had two children.  But, I am not sure how it will affect the ovary if you have one again so soon after the other was removed.   How large was your first one?   Obviously, the larger the cyst, the more likely your ovary will have to be removed.    But, most times they can remove an endometrioma without taking your ovary.  Even in a worst case scenario, you would only lose the one ovary and should be able to get pregnant with the remaining one.   Usually, the remaining ovary picks up for the hormal loss of having one removed.  I hope all goes well.
