UICOMP OB/GYN Grand Rounds presents" “The Management of Endometriomas in Reproductive Medicine.” The management of endometriomas, which are cysts formed from endometrial tissue on the ovaries, typically involves a combination of approaches depending on the severity of symptoms, size of the cysts, and the patient’s reproductive plans.
