Is chocolate ovarian cyst the same as ovarian cyst? What is the difference between the two?

Many young women suffer from ovarian diseases, but we don’t know much about ovarian diseases, so many people ask questions like, is chocolate ovarian cyst an ovarian cyst? What is the difference between the two?

The doctor said: Chocolate ovarian cyst and ovarian cyst are two diseases with different symptoms, so the two should not be confused. Let's see how the doctor explains it in detail.

What is the difference between ovarian chocolate cysts and ovarian cysts? Chocolate ovarian cysts are a type of endometriosis. If endometrial fragments fall off during menstruation, they flow back into the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes and menstrual blood, and are implanted on the surface of the ovaries or other parts of the pelvic cavity. In the long run, chocolate ovarian cysts will form. For women who want to have children, medication should be used and regular follow-up should be performed. If the symptoms are severe, the effect of medication is not obvious, or the ovarian mass is large, conservative surgery such as ovarian endometrial cyst chocolate aspiration, endometrial cyst stripping or affected ovarian resection should be used to maintain normal ovarian and reproductive function.

Recurrence is still possible after conservative surgery. Patients should adhere to follow-up and get pregnant as soon as possible. For women over 40 years old who have no fertility requirements, the entire uterus, one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes can be removed.

Ovarian cyst is a generalized ovarian tumor that can occur at any age, but is common in women aged 20-50. Ovarian tumors are common tumors in the female reproductive organs, with single or mixed, unilateral or bilateral, cystic or solid, benign or malignant, among which cystic is common and the degree of malignant change is very high. Early diagnosis is difficult, 70% are in the late stage, and early treatment is rarely received. The 5-year survival rate has been hovering at 20-30%, which is one of the serious malignant tumors that threaten women's lives.
