Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to health care magic.
The chocolate cyst of ovary is a type of endometriosis which is ectopic endometrium.
It's size may vary according to the phase of menstruation cycle.
The size of cyst in your case is pretty large so most likely most effective treatment will be surgical resection although you may give a trial to treatment with progesterone under supervision of an expert local gynecologist but chances of success are low.
In some cases the cysts may degenerate over time
I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
