What is the effect of chocolate cyst on pregnant women?

Chocolate cyst is a type of endometriosis. As long as the endometrium appears in other parts of the uterus outside the uterine cavity, it can be called endometriosis. Can you get pregnant if you have chocolate cyst?

A patient had a laparoscopic chocolate cyst resection in the hospital, but it recurred in less than two months. The size was about five centimeters. Two days ago, she went to the hospital for a diagnosis and asked if she could just ignore it and get pregnant first. Would this affect her pregnancy? Would she have to have an abortion later because of the cyst or would there be other obstacles?

This patient's problem is very common. Many patients with endometriosis face these problems. First, a common symptom of endometriosis is infertility. Endometriosis and infertility are very contradictory issues, that is, endometriosis can easily lead to infertility. If you get pregnant, it is a very good treatment for endometriosis. It is very contradictory.

Another problem is recurrence. In the medical field, endometriosis can be called benign cancer. Pathologically, it is not a malignant tumor, but it has some behaviors of malignant cancer, such as recurrence. In clinical practice, if a laparoscopic resection is performed alone, if there is no pregnancy or no drug prevention, then the recurrence rate is very high. If an ovarian preservation surgery is performed alone, then the recurrence rate is at least 60% (in the literature), and recurrence is not uncommon. The patient should actually choose to get pregnant as soon as possible or use drugs to prevent further growth based on her specific situation, age, fertility requirements, the specific situation of her surgery, and her ease of pregnancy.
