Hello: The medication Esdian contains two hormones, one is the anti-androgen cyproterone and the other is the synthetic estrogen ethinylestradiol.
Due to the low hormone content, this product is classified as a low-dose formulation and is clinically used as a contraceptive.
The primary purpose of your gynecologist prescribing this medication is to treat your endometrioma through its contraceptive effects.
Regarding side effects: a small number of individuals may experience breast swelling, tenderness, nausea, vomiting, mood changes, and weight fluctuations.
Contraindications: Individuals with a history of thrombosis should be cautious of signs of myocardial infarction or stroke.

More Info
ESDIAN F.C. Tablets, which contain cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol, are primarily used as a low-dose hormonal contraceptive. Given your diagnosis of chocolate cysts (endometriomas), your gynecologist likely prescribed this medication to help manage your condition. Chocolate cysts are a type of ovarian cyst associated with endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, often leading to pain and other complications.
The active ingredients in ESDIAN work together to regulate hormonal levels in the body. Cyproterone acetate is an anti-androgen that can help reduce the effects of male hormones (androgens) that may contribute to the growth of endometriosis. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of estrogen that helps to stabilize the menstrual cycle and can promote the growth of the uterine lining. By using this combination, the medication aims to alleviate symptoms associated with endometriosis and potentially reduce the size of chocolate cysts.
Regarding side effects, while many individuals tolerate ESDIAN well, some may experience adverse reactions. Common side effects include breast tenderness, nausea, mood changes, and weight fluctuations. These effects are generally mild and may resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. However, it is essential to monitor for more severe side effects, such as signs of thrombosis (blood clots), especially if you have a history of clotting disorders. Symptoms of thrombosis can include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling in one leg.
In terms of its impact on the uterus and ovaries, ESDIAN is designed to help manage conditions like endometriosis by regulating hormonal levels. It can help reduce menstrual flow and alleviate pain associated with endometriosis, which may indirectly benefit the ovaries by reducing the inflammatory environment that can exacerbate cyst formation. However, the medication does not directly cause the cysts to disappear; rather, it may help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
It is also important to note that while hormonal treatments like ESDIAN can be effective in managing endometriosis and its associated symptoms, they are not a cure. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is crucial to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider promptly.
In conclusion, ESDIAN F.C. Tablets can be beneficial for managing chocolate cysts and associated symptoms by regulating hormonal levels. While there are potential side effects, many individuals find the benefits outweigh the risks. Always discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider to ensure that you are receiving the best possible care tailored to your specific situation.
