See from ur history u seem to have endometriotic / chocolate cyst .
In endomeriosis - during every menses blood accumulates in ovarian cyst as well leading to chocolate cyst
Dienogest when taken continuously helps to cease menstrual bleeding and thus helps in stopping bleeding inside the cyst and thus decreasing the size of the cyst
Since u already know that endometriosis always reoccurs.even after surgery it has tendency to reoccur. So once the dienogest is stopped for initial few months you will be symptom free .. and also u can continue to take painkillers during menses . And if they are effective continue taking them during menses.
