Are chocolate cysts contagious?

Is chocolate cyst contagious? I believe this is a question that many people are curious about. Chocolate cyst is not common in life, but it is not uncommon in clinical practice. Many patients are worried that the disease will be contagious. So, is chocolate cyst contagious? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone.

Is chocolate cyst contagious? I can tell you for sure that chocolate cyst is not contagious. It is not an infectious disease, so it will not be transmitted to anyone. However, the harm caused by chocolate cyst cannot be ignored. Once discovered, it must be actively treated.

The walls of chocolate cysts growing in the ovaries are often very brittle and tend to rupture spontaneously. After the cyst ruptures, small ruptures can heal quickly and form adhesions with the surrounding tissues, but if the ruptures are large, they cannot heal on their own.

The thick, chocolate-like cystic fluid can flow into the abdominal cavity. This chocolate-like fluid is extremely irritating and can irritate the surrounding peritoneum, causing severe abdominal pain. If not treated in time, it may also lead to diffuse peritonitis and cause fatal consequences.

The treatment of ovarian chocolate cysts is quite difficult, so it is particularly important to prevent the occurrence of chocolate cysts. Studies have found that the occurrence of ovarian chocolate cysts is related to the ectopic endometrium that has long been stationed in the pelvic cavity. Therefore, the key to preventing ovarian chocolate cysts lies in how to avoid the occurrence of endometriosis.

For patients with ovarian chocolate cysts larger than 6 cm, they must keep their emotions stable and avoid overwork during menstruation or mid-menstruation. Once the tension in the cyst cavity suddenly increases, the cyst wall will rupture, which will cause acute abdomen. They should try to avoid artificial abortion and curettage as much as possible, do a good job of family planning, and women must refrain from sexual intercourse during menstruation.
