Answer

The literature suggests a high risk of endometrial cancer transition for this condition.

As surgery is not possible due to medical co morbidities and her age use of progesterone in high enough doses based on her weight may be considered. Depo Provera is one option at low cost.and readily available too..

Endometrial cyst is mostly an age related syndrome, seen mostly in mares over 10 years old. The current treatment either not practical (like laser, endoscope) or not efficient. We usually used in our clinic a hypertonic solution (Nacl), but the recovery rate is not encouraged. I am seeking a simple practical method to overcome this problem.
