Can Endometriotic Cysts Be Treated Without Removing the Cyst Wall?

Have you ever heard of endometriotic cysts, also called chocolate cysts?

These cysts, found in the ovaries, are named for their thick, dark fluid. But what’s the best way to treat them?

Traditionally, doctors perform a cystectomy, where the cyst wall is surgically removed.

But did you know this method could accidentally remove some healthy ovarian tissue? This can affect ovarian function, especially for women who want to conceive.

Is there another way? Yes! Ethanol sclerotherapy offers an alternative.

Here’s how it works:

• A small hole is made to drain the fluid.
• Then, pure ethanol is injected into the cyst for about 15 minutes.
• The ethanol destroys the cyst wall without damaging surrounding ovarian tissue.

This method is gentler, but there’s a catch—there’s a slightly higher chance the cyst may return compared to traditional surgery.

So, what’s the best option for you? Discuss with your doctor.

It’s about balancing risks and benefits to protect your health and future.
