Ovarian endometriomas
Endometriosis cysts on the ovary. Surgical technique matters here more than almost anywhere else.
How an endometrioma is removed has direct consequences for ovarian reserve. The goal is to remove the disease while preserving as much healthy ovarian tissue as possible, which is a technical question rather than a matter of preference.
Prototype content. This page proves the shape. The clinical copy needs writing and reviewing by a surgeon before publication, and should be bylined to a named surgeon with a link to their profile — Google weights author credentials heavily for medical content.
How we diagnose it
A careful, unhurried history usually reaches a clinical diagnosis without a diagnostic operation. We map your symptoms against everywhere the disease is known to hide, and we review any imaging or operative reports you already have.
How we treat it
Treatment depends on what we find and what you want from it. Where surgery is right, we excise disease at full depth rather than burning its surface. Where it isn't, we'll say so — and we'd rather tell you that than operate.
Questions patients ask us
- Will removing this damage my ovary?
- Should I freeze eggs before surgery?
- Does it have to come out at all?
