Hi Tuesday,
I have three chocolate cysts ranging in the sizes of 4.6-5.6 cm.
I had one removed through a laproscopy and now I have two more.  I know they can
rupture, but I have not experienced that yet.  I exercise 5 days a weeks doing
demanding cardio and weights.  I am in a lot of pain, but I just deal with it.
I too have endometriosis.  That is also painful.  It seems as though docotors don't
know what they are doing.  I have stopped all medication b/c I was just sick of
bleeding for 4 months straight, but I am still bleeding of course.  Do you
experience a lot of bleeding?  One thing I do know is that these cysts can be
life threatening.  They can cut off blood supply through your blood vessels
and cause internal bleeding.  I am still doing research my self and getting
more docotors opinions on these cysts.  I just can't deal with the pain of three
chocolate cysts.  I would put off the surgery, until you get at least three
opinions, I wish I waited.  I am going through more pain b/c of the surgery.
Email me back if you want to talk more.  Good Luck!!
Bleu
