A member asked:
Large (5 cm) recurring left ovary endometrioma. had cystectomy to remove it once already. should my whole ovary be taken out or can it be saved?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: At your age we would prefer to preserve the normal portion of the ovary. However, there may be no normal ovarian tissue left and the chance of reoccurrence will be high.
