Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
Since you are having chocolate cysts in your ovary, it is best to get them removed before the endometrium spreads further into your abdominal cavity as it is a very painful condition.If you opt for this surgery it is better to get your uterus also removed alongwith to prevent further complications.

You can get rid of this problem by taking oral contraceptive pills for a long time or by becoming pregnant,or taking long term progestogens.

Dear Doctor Rakhi,
Does it mean i need Hysterectomy? My recent Gyne said i could just take the Depo Provera shot and the Pills will this help? and what are the possibilties that it won't harm me more? And about the removal of my ovary and uterus what will be the effect in my body? I also have Goiter ..
