What if there is a cyst during pregnancy ultrasound?

After pregnancy, an ultrasound examination is required. The main purpose of the B-ultrasound examination is to observe the development of the baby in the belly. People have not imagined the results of the B-ultrasound examination. Some will be diagnosed with cysts. The cysts mainly include chocolate ovarian cysts. As long as this kind of cyst is not large, it will not affect the normal pregnancy. However, if it is relatively large, treatment measures must be taken.

How to treat chocolate cysts in pregnant women

Ovarian chocolate cysts can be treated conservatively or surgically, allowing patients to choose, but the treatment method should be determined based on the condition.

Conservative treatment: medication and hormone therapy are used to shrink the ectopic endometrium. However, this treatment method is ineffective and unsuitable for patients with larger or more severe cysts, especially those with unclear ovarian masses. Surgery is recommended.

Surgical treatment: Surgery is undoubtedly the best treatment method. Patients can undergo ovarian cystectomy, which has been improved. All surgeries are performed in a minimally invasive manner. The tools used to stop bleeding are not traditional electric knives, but advanced surgical instruments to avoid damage to ovarian function and protect women's ovaries to the greatest extent.

Experts say that a normal woman's own endometrium grows in the uterine cavity. During menstruation, the shed endometrium will be discharged from the body with the blood, and then a new endometrium will grow again, causing the endometrium to thicken again.

Ovarian chocolate cysts are caused by the growth of endometrium in one's own ovaries, but some of the shed endometrium cannot be excreted from the body due to backflow, so it accumulates in the ovaries, and cysts will form after long-term accumulation.

How to treat ovarian chocolate cysts? The above is the expert's analysis. Chocolate cysts are an ovarian disease and will definitely have an impact on fertility because the ovaries are the main organs for pregnancy. If you suffer from this disease, please seek treatment as soon as possible.

Chocolate cysts are not contagious, but they still require active treatment because the cysts can gradually increase in size and sometimes rupture during or after menstruation, but rarely become malignant.

It can be treated with medication or (and) surgery (conservative or radical). So far, there is no ideal cure except radical surgery. Both drug treatment and conservative surgery have a very high recurrence rate. Therefore, the selection should be based on the patient's age, symptoms, signs, extent of lesions, and fertility requirements, emphasizing individualized treatment.

There are two surgical methods: open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is the best treatment for this disease. Currently, laparoscopic diagnosis, surgery + medication are considered the gold standard for the treatment of endometriosis. In hospitals with the necessary conditions, laparoscopic surgery should be the preferred treatment for endometriosis. However, the choice and effect of laparoscopic surgery depend to a large extent on the equipment, instruments and the experience and skills of the surgeon. Open surgery can be used for surgeries that are not suitable for laparoscopy or are very complicated, such as those with severe adhesions and a history of multiple surgeries.
