2. Abdominal pain: Chocolate cysts are prone to rupture during and before and after menstruation, causing sudden lower abdominal pain, which is sometimes misdiagnosed as appendicitis and requires surgery. In addition, about 1/3 of patients complain of lower abdominal pain during sexual intercourse, some of which are so severe that they are afraid of having sex. Another 1/3 of women often feel lower abdominal pain on one or both sides, which may be related to chocolate cysts or pelvic adhesions.
