Symptoms of chocolate cyst

Chocolate cysts are very novel to many women. Everyone thinks that they have something to do with chocolate. In fact, because the cysts are brown, they are called chocolate cysts. So, what are the symptoms of chocolate cysts? Next, the editor will introduce them to you.

1. Dysmenorrhea is the main symptom: It is secondary and worsens year by year, but a small number of patients do not have obvious dysmenorrhea. The ectopic endometrium is affected by ovarian hormones and has the same cyclical changes as the normal endometrium. In the second half of menstruation, the ectopic endometrium is highly thickened and congested, and the pressure in the endometriosis gradually increases. During menstruation, menstrual blood accumulates in the sac, which suddenly increases the pressure on the sac wall and causes pain.

2. Acute abdomen: What are the symptoms of chocolate cyst? Ovarian endometrial cysts have brittle cyst walls that lack elasticity. Menstrual blood gradually accumulates, and the pressure inside the cyst continues to increase. The contents can rupture from the weak parts of the cyst wall, overflow into the abdominal cavity, stimulate the peritoneum, cause peritonitis, and develop acute abdomen.

3. Pain during sexual intercourse: Endometriosis in the rectouterine fossa, posterior vaginal fornix, uterosacral ligament and other parts can cause pain during sexual intercourse, and it is often more obvious before menstruation.

4. Infertility: What are the symptoms of chocolate cysts? About 30-70% of patients with endometriosis are accompanied by infertility. Among patients with unexplained infertility, about 70-80% of patients are accompanied by endometriosis. Patients are often infertile due to mechanical factors such as pelvic organ adhesions, which hinder the peristalsis of the fallopian tubes or block the fallopian tubes. It may also be related to factors such as ovarian insufficiency, enhanced autoimmune response, increased prostaglandins, and increased prolactin.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of chocolate cysts. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of them. Chocolate cysts are very dangerous. If they are not treated in time, they may endanger our lives. Therefore, the editor reminds everyone that once the disease is discovered, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.
