Women often suffer from gynecological diseases, which seriously affect the health of female friends. Therefore, when any disease is found during gynecological examinations, women should seek treatment as soon as possible. Is there anything wrong with chocolate cysts detected during gynecological examinations?
1. The normal endometrium grows inside the uterine cavity and sheds every month under the influence of hormones to form menstruation. Fragments of ectopic endometrium shed easily flow back to the pelvic cavity with menstrual blood and then accumulate on the surface of the ovary, forming a cyst. The liquid inside it has a chocolate like color, so it is called a chocolate cyst.
2. This type of cyst usually contains very old blood deposits, which appear brown in color and are very viscous like a paste, similar to chocolate, hence the name. This type of cyst will enlarge, initially being relatively small. If left untreated, it will enlarge, and there will be severe pain before and after each menstrual period.
3. If a cyst grows near the gastrointestinal tract, it can cause gastrointestinal pain and diarrhea. If it grows in the ovaries, it can not only cause abdominal pain during menstruation, but also affect the function of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, leading to female infertility. But this type of cyst will not have malignant lesions. If detected, timely treatment is necessary. As long as timely treatment is carried out, there will be no problem.
