I am on OCP for endometriosis.
I had a surgery for ovarian chocolate cyst nine months back. For six months I took Visanne. Now I have started taking Dronis. This Dronis seems to have caused loss of appetite. Can I stop taking it? Or is there any other medicine that can be tried? Does endometriosis mean taking OCP forever?
You can switch over to other OCP like Yaz or freedase after completing this cycle with dronis.
Symptoms you are describing are quite normal and should disappear with continued use.
OCP are prescribed for a period of time and not forever in endometriosis.

Options for treatment for endometroosis are removal of the chocolate cyst . Dinoegest or Dronis which is also an oral contraceptive. Dronis can be taken at bedtime to prevent nausea. and gastric upset. If cyst are there better to get them removed as they cause adhesions and more painand may lead to fertility issues.

Please continue Dronis in this cycle. It can be changed to other preparation after completing the cycle.
You can take either Visanne or any other brand which your doctor prescribes.
And endometriosis doesn’t mean taking Ocp forever.
Please discuss about your future plans about your pregnancy with your doctor and she would advice uou accordingly.
Endometriosis might affect your fertility so take decisions keeping that in mind.

Oral contraceptives like dronis give some symptoms like what you have. But they usually go away with persistent use.
If you are not comfortable you can also opt for injectable progesterone like depo provera. This injection has to be taken every 3 months.
That is also an option which is more comfortable than taking a tablet daily.
You should also think of conceiving soon if you are married. The pregnancy will also give you relief for sometime plus if you have endometriosis, you may have trouble conceiving. Try on your own naturally for 6 months, but if pregnancy doesn't happen, consult a gynaecologist.

You should complete the dronis for this cycle. Don’t stop dronis mid cycle As it will cause the bleeding in between the cycle.

Taking medication prevents recurrence of chochlate cysts
Chochlate cysts are progressive and recurrent
But if you cannot tolerate dronis there are other brands of oral contraception pills with different medications that you may be tolerant
If you are married it is advisable that you do not postpone pregnancy
