Asked for female, 39 years old from Kolkata

I have a history of endometriosis .first in 2005 I got a large ovarian chocolate cyst which was removed surgically since then I was doing fine. Again in 2020 I had uterine polyp and adhesions which was treated by dinofest and regestrone, again in 2023 I had huge ovarian cysts in both ovaries and volume was 500 ml, which was operated recently and presently I am on regestrone and monthly dose of zoladex for 3 month. My query is zoladex ideal for treatment as the injection is v painful after surgery and also can I get pregnant after the treatment with zoladex? My ovaries are preserved, my amh level is 4.04,and my tubes are fine. I am 39 nae, what is the line of treatment naw to get pregnant? Is there any alternative to zoladex. I had 1 dose before my surgery. I want to know if zoladex is the right option?

You can discuss taking lupride injection with your doctor. Though zoladex is more effective and reduces symptoms better. Post zoladex treatment it's feasible to get pregnant. In view of your age and condition, it's better to go for ivf for pregnancy.

If you r a known case of endometriosis then you need clearance surgery by laparoscopy to make you comfortable. Dienogest or any other medicine does not prevent progression of disease. It has to be taken out by laparoscopy only by expert gyne lap surgeon. Contact in private for more info.

If all parameters are normal then pregnancy is a possibility but seeing the history I feel you should go to a hospital specialized in handling complex situations. It is also advisable to go for ivf after an appropriate gap. No point in waiting too long for normal conception.

5 cm chocolate cyst diagnosed doc said zoladex injection for one month and try to conceive ASAP for 3-6 months. Hope I will not get period for 3 months can I still conceive without getting period.

No, you can't concieve without having period. You'll have to get a serial ultrasound done after the zoladex treatment to see if endometrioma has reduced in size. If not then go for surgical removal of your chocolate cyst following which it would be easier to concieve.

Asked for Male, 32 years old from Bangalore

Hi, I'm 26 year old female. I got my laparoscopic surgery 3 months back for having endometriosis and PCOD disease. After surgery doctor adviced me to take zoladex 3.6 mg depot injection. After how many months can I try for a baby?

Dr. Nitin Sangamnerkar92%(119 ratings)

In my opinion you should take minimum of 2 zoladex if the endometriosis is moderate. Wait for menses and then start treatment.

September 2013 I was diagnosed with Advanced Metastatic Prostate by DRE, a T4 large lesion invading the outer rectum. A 328 urg/l on Lucrin and bicalutamide afer 12 months I changed to Zoladex 3 monthly injections because of side effects namely loss of muscle and pain.

The question is not very clear. If you have a metastatic ca prostate and you were put on hormone ablation therapy your disease should be regularly monitored with your psa values.

Hi, abiraterone and zoledronic acid are good choices. But instead of zoladex which would cost you about 15 to 16k every 3 months, you can get his testes removed surgically in about 30k. Same effect. If abiraterone doesn't work go for chemo.
