After 24 hours trying heat and otc remedies, my abdomen was noticeably distended and the pain was unbearable so I went to the ER. Ketorolac provided immense relief whereas morphine really didn’t help. IV antibiotics, one night in ER and two nights on the ward and I was well enough to go home.

An endometrioma larger than 4 cm must be surgically removed and is an emergency.
I have 2 endometrioma left and right. Though yours is really huge…. Not really sure about ruptured but where was the pain when you were rushed to ER?
