Current management of ovarian endometriomas
The choice of treatment in case of ovarian endometriomas is one of the most discussed topics in Reproductive Medicine. Management options include expectancy, medical treatment, surgery, in-vitro fertilization (IVF), or a combination of the above. The main presenting symptom, i.e. pain or infertility, usually guide the choice of treatment. Medical treatment is usually preferred as the first line option when pain is the associated symptom, whereas surgery or IVF are preferred in case of associated infertility.
