Can I get pregnant after removing a chocolate cyst?
If a woman plans to have in vitro fertilization (IVF), surgical removal of a cyst can make the procedure more difficult, and it is unlikely to increase the chances of becoming pregnant. For women who plan to get pregnant without IVF, however, the surgical removal of a chocolate cyst may improve fertility.
Does endometrioma removal affect fertility?
Surgical excision of endometrioma may cause ovarian reserve to be reduced in a short time, which may delay achieving pregnancy (37-39). In cases of bilateral endometrioma, there is a higher risk of premature ovarian insufficiency following cystectomy.
