Beware of the causes of chocolate cysts

We must understand the causes of chocolate cysts. Only by correctly understanding the causes of chocolate cysts can we get an accurate understanding and treatment. Next, we will interpret the causes of chocolate cysts and see what are the causes of chocolate cysts?

There is a special branch of uterine fibroids, which is chocolate cyst. Why is it called "chocolate"? This is because this cyst is formed in the uterine cavity, and its shape and color are very similar to chocolate. Next, let's have a general understanding of this special disease, chocolate cyst.

Understand chocolate cysts. Don't be fooled by their fancy name. They are essentially pathological masses. Chocolate cysts are "lumps" but not "tumors". They are a type of endometriosis. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium grows in the uterine cavity and is affected by female hormones in the body. It sheds once a month to form menstruation. If the endometrial fragments shed during menstruation flow backward through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity with menstrual blood, they will be implanted on the surface of the ovaries or other parts of the pelvic cavity, forming ectopic cysts.

The formation of chocolate cysts is caused by an imbalance in hormone secretion. This ectopic endometrium is also affected by sex hormones and sheds and bleeds repeatedly during the menstrual cycle. If the lesion occurs on the ovaries, there will be local bleeding during each menstrual period, which will enlarge the ovaries and form cysts containing old blood. This old blood is brown and sticky like a paste, similar to chocolate, so it is also called "chocolate cysts." This cyst can gradually increase in size and sometimes rupture during or after menstruation, but rarely becomes malignant.

Chocolate cysts, if you observe them through a microendoscopy, are lumps that look like chocolate. If not treated properly in the early stages, they can rupture with the onset of menstruation or the continuous stimulation of hormones, which can be very harmful to life and health. Therefore, formal treatment is required.

We must actively understand the causes of the above-mentioned chocolate cysts. Only by actively grasping the causes of the formation of chocolate cysts can we come to an accurate understanding. Finally, it is recommended that after grasping the causes of the formation of chocolate cysts, we need to actively consult the advice of relevant experts.
