Is chocolate cyst disease curable?

Patient's question:

Cyst up to 28 cm, excessive menstrual flow during which there was abdominal pain.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment can be surgical or medical (conservative or radical). To date, except for radical surgery, no ideal radical treatment has been found. Whether it is drug treatment or conservative surgery, there is a relatively high recurrence rate. Therefore, the choice should be based on the patient's age, symptoms, signs, extent of the lesion, and fertility requirements, emphasizing individualized treatment. For mild or asymptomatic lesions, expectant treatment is chosen; for mild patients with fertility requirements, drug treatment is given after diagnosis; for severe cases, fertility-preserving surgery is performed; for young, non-fertility-seeking severe patients, ovarian function-preserving surgery can be performed with drug treatment; for patients with severe symptoms and lesions who do not have fertility requirements, radical surgery can be performed.
