Experts analyze what is chocolate cyst

Chocolate cysts are very harmful to women. Many women feel cold when they hear about chocolate cysts. In fact, chocolate cysts can be cured in the early stages. Once we find that we are unwell, we should check it out in time. So, what is chocolate cysts? Below, the editor will introduce it to you.

Chocolate cysts are caused by ectopic uterine growth in the pelvic cavity. This endometrium also has menstrual-like bleeding once a month. These bleedings accumulate in the pelvic cavity for years and months and become cysts. Cysts are often bilateral. The contents of the cysts are menstrual blood, in which water is absorbed and blood is concentrated, becoming a dark brown, viscous paste, which looks very similar to chocolate, so it is called chocolate cysts.

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

In addition, chocolate cysts not only make women suffer during each menstrual period, but also cause infertility. Because it can damage the tissues in the body, if it is near the stomach, it will cause diarrhea and stomach pain; if it is in the ovaries, it will affect the function of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, causing infertility.
