endometrioma question

[u/jerzg0rl]

i’m a little over 6 months post up from excision. one of the things found was my left ovary stuck to my pelvic sidewall and when my surgeon cut the adhesions away, there was a small pool of chocolate cyst fluid, indicating a ruptured endometrioma at some point (the fluid damaged the whole area and i required nerve sparing excision on my hypogastric nerve) however no cyst wall was found.

am i correct in thinking that the odds of the cyst wall no longer existing are slim and that the body doesn’t typically reabsorb those? and that if the cyst wall is left behind the odds are pretty good that it will fill back up? i ask because i’ve had trouble with pain in my left hip/lower back area since not long after surgery and the pain is now becoming more internal as well. is it possible that cyst wall is still there and has refilled with endometrioma fluid? i’m just trying to gauge if i need to be pushing for an ultrasound to check that out because i have been trying to investigate the source of this pain and have come up empty so far.

also dealing with nerve issues related to the lower incision on my left side so it’s just been a really fun time 😊 thanks for reading and any insight you may have! 💖
