Is Laproscopic Surgery The Solution For Chocolate Cyst Of Ovary?
Question: I have been diagnosed with ovarian cyst. The size of the cyst is 5.9*6.4*5.9 CM. Doctor says it is Chocolate Cyst and it should be removed with Laproscopy.
I was pregnant during december but then i had a miscarriage within 7 days of pregnancy confirmation through urine test. Doctor says this might be due to the cyst. Also initially during december 2013 the size of the cyst was 7.7*6.9*5.5 cm. But now it is reduced. I was taking birth control pill in order to try reducing cyst for two months but then i stopped it by Feb end. Let me please know is it safe to undergo surgery. Is it safe because i am not having even my first baby yet. Kindly clarify.
