I have a 2.5cm endometrioma in my right ovary. My Dr didn't say anything about lesions or having endo as well. I don't have painful periods but have pain in the ovary and bleeding and pain after sex as well as spotting thru my cycle. Im just at beginning of this journey and hoping I dont have endometriosis as the pain sounds terrible
Hi there. I was operated last December due to a 6 cm cyst I had on my left ovary. They believed that it was cancer, but it turned out to be an endometrioma and the doctor also found adhesions. And like you, I had no symptoms related to endometriosis, but it was there. Afterwards, I was given a 3-month Lupron shot to control the endometriosis and they did an exam to see if there was any obstruction in the tubes. I had some problems with the left ovary, but they corrected the problem and the doctor says that I am doing pretty well and that I can start trying to have kids.
I know that it can be very confusing and frustrating not knowing what you have, but it took me almost a year to get operated since I couldn't believe I had cancer and I didn't trust my PF, so I searched on line and talked to doctors, until I found one I felt comfortable with and who was also worried about my fertility and not just wanted to do a surgery and get paid.
They sent parts of the cyst they found to the pathologist and the report said that it was endometriosis. They can know if it is right away if it is an endometrioma since it is a brownish color and it is called a chocolate cyst.
In my opinion, take the labs to another doctor to get another opinion.
Best wishes,
