What is a Chocolate Cyst?
Chocolate cysts are actually endometriosis. In some cases, the endometrium tissue in the uterus grows outside the uterus and covers the ovaries, fallopian tube and pelvic tissue. This is called endometriosis, a medical condition that interferes with a woman's healthy reproduction and menstrual cycles. Although it is seen in many women of all age groups worldwide, it is a disease with low awareness. It can cause infertility as it negatively affects the progression of the fallopian tubes. For this reason, the progression of the disease should be checked regularly and gynecological examination should not be interrupted.
What are the Symptoms of a Chocolate Cyst?
Symptoms of chocolate cysts, i.e. endometriosis cysts, may go unnoticed by some patients. Because the most important symptom of endometriosis is groin pain. This pain usually manifests itself severely during menstrual periods. Many women experience menstrual pain. For this reason, endometriosis pain is considered normal by many women. If the complaint of severe pain during menstruation is accompanied by the following problems, the suspicion of endometriosis increases:
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Pain during defecation and urination, especially common during menstruation
- Menstrual periods with excessive bleeding
- Infertility
Does a Chocolate Cyst Cause Infertility?
The severity of pain and bleeding may not always be sufficient for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Because pain is not always directly proportional to the severity of endometriosis. Endometriosis cysts can also be confused with ovarian cysts with similar symptoms. The symptom that allows a clear diagnosis of endometriosis to be made is usually infertility. Infertility due to chocolate cysts can be detected with different imaging tests and gynecological examinations performed in women who apply to the gynecologist with the complaint of infertility.
How to Treat Chocolate Cyst in Ankara
Nowadays, chocolate cysts can be easily detected thanks to imaging techniques that are improving day by day thanks to developing technology. Chocolate cysts can be diagnosed by pelvic examination, ultrasound and MRI. Today, however, the most effective method for both diagnosis and treatment of chocolate cysts is laparoscopy. This method, which allows the problem in the uterus to be detected and treated at the same time, is especially used in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility caused by chocolate cysts.
Hormone drugs are used in the treatment of endometriosis with medication. Pregnancy may be risky during hormone therapy. Therefore, women considering pregnancy should consider alternative solutions for endometriosis. At the same time, since drug treatment does not provide a permanent solution, it may not be suitable for women who have infertility problems due to chocolate cysts.
Endometriosis treatment with laparoscopy is a surgical method known as closed surgery. Today, it is replacing the treatments performed with open surgery due to the fact that both imaging and diagnosis and treatment can be performed. With laparoscopy, the location of the endometrium layer in the uterus and fallopian tubes can be determined and treatment can be performed easily.
