Ovarian endometrioid cyst

Ovarian endometrioid cyst is actually a type of ovarian cyst. When it comes to ovarian cysts, most people may think that ovarian cysts are just a troublesome disease, but it can disappear on its own with treatment. In fact, this is true for most ovarian cysts, but for ovarian endometrioid cysts, they cannot disappear on their own.

Among benign ovarian cysts, most are physiological cysts common in women of childbearing age, also called functional cysts. The ovaries of women of childbearing age ovulate almost every month, and a corpus luteum is formed after ovulation. If pregnancy does not occur, the life span of the corpus luteum is generally 14 days, at which time it should normally atrophy and disappear. However, if the corpus luteum does not successfully die, or even has a small amount of bleeding and further fluid accumulation, a corpus luteum cyst will form.

If you are pregnant, it can continue to exist for about 6 weeks, and clinically it looks like an ovarian cyst, so there is no need to worry. Another type of functional cyst is the follicular cyst, which is caused by the follicle continuing to grow without ovulation, eventually forming a cyst with clear serous fluid in the middle. The above types are all functional physiological cysts. Generally, they will disappear naturally after 2 to 3 months of treatment and observation. If it continues to grow, surgery can be performed. If the cyst is large and prone to torsion, emergency laparoscopic surgery may be required.

What kind of cysts need attention? If it doesn't go away on its own, you need to pay attention to it. If a cyst does not disappear on its own after 2 to 3 months of observation, it should be considered a non-physiological cyst and you should seek medical attention promptly.

There are many types of non-physiological cysts, but the most distinctive one is the chocolate cyst mentioned above. Chocolate cyst is also called endometriosis cyst. As the name suggests, endometriosis cysts only occur when there is endometriosis, although sometimes the size of the endometriosis lesions in the pelvic cavity is not proportional to the size of the cysts.

Chocolate cyst is a typical modern disease. Modern women lead stressful lives and keep delaying their birth plans, which eventually lead to dysmenorrhea and infertility. Often, after trying extremely hard, one still cannot even achieve basic natural pregnancy. Some women also have adenomyosis, severe dysmenorrhea, and are in great pain during each menstrual period. This type of female patient is very common, but because they are afraid of the side effects of painkillers, they are unwilling to use too much painkillers. Here we need to remind women of childbearing age that if adenomyosis develops, even the success rate of in vitro fertilization will drop sharply. If they suffer from dysmenorrhea for a long time, they should seek medical attention in time.
