I have had endometriosis for last 5 years in right ovary. Got it removed once in 2017 but it came back again. I have two kids 6 years and 1 year old. Earlier I was being treated with destrogen (ocp) and endoreg taking both cont. For 6 months creating a temporary menopause and it was really effective. But now after my delivery last year, cyst showed up again and it hurts really bad. No I have consulted another Dr. She suggested freebase but with stopping in between for periods to come. Is this gonna help reduce the cyst if periods keep on coming every month?

Yes freedase tablet is more effective than normal ocps because it contains dienogest which will help in reducing endometriosis.

The periods that come on stopping an ocp is withdrawal bleed which is lighter than a regular period and usually doesn't aggravate the symptoms or size of the cyst. However, if you feel your symptoms are severe during periods, you can take the pills continuously and give a gap after every 3 months.

For endometriosis treatment has to be continuous as having periods might increase the symptoms or not help in resolution of pain. Try medical management for a little longer time. Will need to review your reports for correct management. You may consider a private consultation.

That is the correct advice. After 6 months therapy you will have to get examined for the control of the disease.
