View allI have a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst and I've been taking Navelon for a month without breaks. Since I don't have any pain and weigh 46 kg, is there a chance the cyst will shrink enough to avoid surgery?
While taking Novelon continuously for a month may help with pain and slow the growth of a 5.6 cm chocolate cyst, it's unlikely to shrink it enough to avoid surgery, especially if the cyst is large and causing significant issues. Surgery is often recommended for cysts larger than 8 cm or if they cause pain or infertility problems

I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and have cysts in both ovaries two on the left (2cm and 3cm) and one on the right (2cm). My gynecologist is recommending laparoscopy, but I'm wondering if there are any medications or injections that could treat the endometriosis and help me conceive instead of surgery
While medications and injections can help manage endometriosis and its symptoms, they often don't resolve the underlying condition. Laparoscopy may be recommended for endometriomas (cysts) that are painful, growing, or larger than 4cm, or when fertility is a goal. Medications like birth control pills, progestins, and GnRH agonists can help suppress the growth of endometriosis tissue and relieve pain, but they don't eliminate the cyst
