Hi... Chocolate cyst can some time open up leading to life threatening peritonitis, Hence the surgical removal is the best option.. the surgery involves removal of the of the affected ovaries only... And hence you will not have any reproductory problems.. All the best...

Hi Doc. Does the chocolate cysts require immediate surgery. Mine was just detected this week and it measures already bout 9 cm. I'm also feeling severe pain during my monthly period. Thanks.
