What causes chocolate cysts?

Chocolate cysts may be caused by physiological factors, endocrine factors, excessive stress, etc.

Causes of chocolate cysts:

1. Physiological factors: Chocolate cysts, also known as ovarian endometriosis cysts, are a type of endometriosis. As the endometrial fragments shed during menstruation flow back into the fallopian tubes and enter the pelvic cavity with menstrual blood, these blood will be implanted on the surface of the ovaries or other parts of the pelvic cavity, resulting in ectopic cysts, namely chocolate cysts.

2. Endocrine factors: Women's ovaries usually ovulate and produce endocrine hormones, which play an important role in balancing endocrine. Once the endocrine system is out of balance, women's ovaries cannot function normally, which can easily lead to chocolate cysts.

3. Excessive stress: Due to bad daily living habits, excessive psychological pressure, long-term unhealthy eating habits and other factors, the body's immune function declines, causing abnormal proliferation of ovarian tissue and chocolate cysts.

Treatment of chocolate cysts:

For patients with mild symptoms and small cysts, they can take norethindrone tablets, medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of doctors. If necessary, they can inject Dabijia or implant the intrauterine contraceptive ring-Mirena. For patients who are not effective in drug treatment and have large cysts, surgical treatment is required.
