My partner has just found out that she has endometrioma ( 5 - 6cm) on one ovary, or near it. She was given a shot of Lupron Depot. Has anyone had this before? Just looking for general information, concerns, etc. We are both ex-pats living in an Asian country and sometimes the communication with doctors can be a bit difficult.

A growth of endometrio tissue ouside the uterus. What was the shot supposed to do. My medical book says that this condition can cause severe pain and infertility.

Ahhh Lupron....I have been on lupron many times suufering from endometriosis for many years, i had it on the bowel, appendix, bladder, just about everywhere you can have it. Lupron puts your body into a menopause stopping your period in hopes stopping the the endometriosis, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not depending on the severity of the endo.....Lupron causes the sames side effects as menpause (i think escalated because it is artificially brought on) night sweats, moodiness, ect. but if it gets rid of the endo it will be worth it. I tried many drugs nothing worked for me and i got a hysterectomy at 34 but i had a SEVERE case. Hopefully, this will work for your partner. I am guessing they lazered the endo and then gave the lupron?....Good luck to you both
