How serious is the surgery for ovarian chocolate cyst?

Endometriosis is located deep inside the ovaries, and menstrual blood accumulates to form cysts. The blood is often chocolate-like and often adheres to adjacent organs due to surface bleeding or damage to the cyst wall. Patients experience symptoms such as menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, and can be surgically removed.

It is caused by ovarian endometriosis. Its tissue structure is the same as the endometrium in a normal position. It may also undergo proliferative or secretory changes, causing menstruation. Because menstrual blood cannot be discharged, it accumulates in the ovaries and forms cysts.

1. Chocolate cyst is a mass that occurs frequently in women aged 30-40. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium is located in the uterine cavity and is affected by female physiological factors. It sheds once a month to form menstruation. However, the endometrial fragments shed by women during menstruation enter the pelvic cavity and are likely to stay in the ovaries and other parts of the pelvic cavity, and then ectopic cysts will appear. This type of cyst will bleed repeatedly with the menstrual cycle.

2. Chocolate cysts appear in women's bodies, which not only cause great pain to patients, but also affect the normal function of the ovaries and fallopian tubes, making women infertile. The tissues around the cysts will also be affected, and if they are close to the stomach, they will cause diarrhea and stomach pain.

Ovarian chocolate cysts are very harmful to women and can also have adverse effects on surrounding tissues. Every time a woman has her menstrual period, the condition will worsen.

Ovarian chocolate cysts are endometriosis. In the ovaries, this is not completely cured. In the ovaries, this energy can be removed surgically. But endometriosis is not completely cured. Because this is related to the secretion of estrogen by the ovaries, if estrogen is secreted, it may recur.

If the ovarian chocolate cyst is larger than 5 cm and is difficult to eliminate by medication, surgical treatment should be performed to achieve the goal of cure.
