Chocolate cyst treatment
My wife has two chocolate cysts in the right ovary and has been suggested two options -
1. Remove by laproscopic surgery. OR
2. Reduce size of chocolate cysts by taking injections (Leupride Depot 3.75mg) for 2-3 months and then remove by laproscopic surgery. Reducing size will make the surgery easier for doctor and recovery easier for patient due to reduced adhesions. I have read somewhere that these are supposed to be injected within 5 days of period date, please tell me if this is true? Her last period was on 14 the July, so can we inject Leupride Depot 3.75mg now or should we wait for her next period in August?
Which of the above two options is more recommended?

Hi. What is the size of the cysts?
Endometriomas do not normally respond to the injections.
If it's better to get surgery done any clear the problem rather then wasting time on injections.
