Ovarian endo

I had a hysterectomy 2 year ago. and now I have been diagnosed with an endometriosis 12.9 mm, my doctor wanted to remove my ovary, but since its the only one left am I hesitant to do this. I consulted a second doctor and she has prescribed contraceptives for 2 months. Can the contraceptive hel to reduce the size... is there any other medication i can opt to so as to save my only ovary.

I should add that I would suggest seeing an Endo specialist to do another surgery but exision (cut out) as I don't think that was done to you before and there is only a limited amount of surgeons worldwide that know what they are doing. If you let me know you are I can give you some names.

If you mean you have an endometrioma (blood filled) them no that won't go away. An endometrioma I am indicator of moderate to severe disease so it's very possible the surgeon who did your hyster didn't remove the Endo in other places.

I was on the bcp for 8 yrs and it stopped my periods and helped with pain however I still had bowel and bladder issues because of how deep it was and how long it took to diagnose. I also had rectovaginal disease recur and the pill didn't help in that area it was always so painful to have a bowel movement.
