Hi. I had endometriosis and tumor on my right ovary and 10 cm chocolate cyst. I had a lap done and my right ovary was removed. I have endo on my left ovary, too. So I had a puncture done (they sucked the cysts and the blood). I took different medications, I experienced menopause for six months (I was taking Zoladex shots) and I am still taking Yasmin pills, untill I decide to try to get pregnant. You are not in menopause if you have just one ovary. With one ovary you can get pregnant and you will have periods, so one ovary can function alone in all non-menopause processes. But, it's different knowing that you have just one ovary left at the age of 23 (in my case) and you don't have children. It's not so pleasent situation, but that's life. Talk to a doctor who is expert in endometriosis, because it' very delicate "disease" and you need a specialist in that area so you can talk to him/her for every possibillity. That's very important!
I hope that everything is going to be ok! Take care!
hi there I am sorry to hear this - I am not quite in the same boat but I currently have chocolate cysts on and inside each ovary of about 3cm I am going to the top professor who will just remove them for me its a hectic operation as they cut open each ovary to get to the growth and stitch up. I think if they have done a pap on you and its ok then I suggest going to a skilled specialist like me they have done stax of these and have seen lots of cases similar to ours and are used to handling them which a normal Gynie isnt.
Good luck and keep me posted
