What is the recurrence rate of chocolate cyst?

Chocolate cysts are a very common disease, which is very harmful to the patient's body. After suffering from chocolate cysts, patients should first undergo a physical examination to have some understanding of their own condition and choose the correct method during treatment. What is the recurrence rate of chocolate cysts? Many patients have recurrence after treatment of such diseases. What is the specific recurrence rate of chocolate cysts?

Recurrence rate of chocolate cyst:

According to a report, the chance of recurrence is 14% within 3 years, and after 3 to 5 years, the chance of recurrence has risen to 40%. Most doctors who perform surgery want to remove the endometriosis, that is, burn it, but why are there so many recurrences?

One reason for the recurrence of chocolate cysts may be the new growth of endometriosis in the body; another possibility is that atypical endometriosis or microscopic endometriosis was not found during surgery. Among infertile patients, 55% have atypical endometriosis. If atypical endometriosis or microscopic endometriosis is not found, the surgery cannot be completed, resulting in continued pain and infertility after surgery. It is possible that the surgery did not completely digest the endometriosis, resulting in the production of more and more active prostaglandins, leading to a recurrence of the disease.

As the course of ovarian chocolate cysts prolongs, the blood in the cysts continues to increase and the size of the cysts also increases. When there is too much blood accumulated in the cyst cavity and the pressure is too high, the weak part of the cyst wall may be broken, causing the cyst to rupture spontaneously. Some of the blood in the cyst will flow out, and after the pressure is reduced, the rupture in the cyst wall can often heal on its own. After a period of time, when the blood accumulation in the cyst increases again and the pressure increases again, spontaneous rupture may occur again. After the cyst ruptures, the accumulated blood flowing into the pelvic cavity irritates the peritoneum, causing severe abdominal pain and may cause adhesions of the pelvic organs. Ovarian chocolate cysts can rupture spontaneously without any cause. Rough or intense sexual intercourse, especially premenstrual sexual intercourse, is often a common and important cause of cyst rupture.

The recurrence rate of ovarian chocolate cysts treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine is low. This is because through the combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine differentiation of symptoms and disease, while eliminating or controlling the growth of the mass, it improves rather than suppresses the patient's ovarian function. This can significantly improve the patient's clinical symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, breast swelling, and menstrual disorders, and can also reduce the pelvic mass, loosen pelvic adhesions, reduce pelvic congestion, and regulate the patient's ovarian axis function. The patient's pregnancy rate is greatly improved during treatment.

After understanding the recurrence rate of chocolate cysts, it is also necessary to understand the recurrence rate when treating chocolate cysts. This will prevent the recurrence of the disease after treatment. If the disease recurs, it will have a greater impact on the body and will be more difficult to treat. Patients with chocolate cysts should pay more attention to this.
