What causes ovarian chocolate cysts?

Chocolate cysts are mostly caused by endometriosis. Many women are unaware of the serious consequences of this disease and do not pay attention to it, which makes the condition worse.

1. Chocolate cyst is a lump, which is more common in women aged 30-40. Under normal circumstances, the uterine wall is completely inside the uterine cavity. Affected by the female body's factors, it sheds on a monthly basis, resulting in menstruation. The fragments of uterine wall that fall off during women's menstrual period enter the pelvis and are likely to be retained in the uterus, ovaries and other parts of the pelvis, causing cysts. This type of cyst will be accompanied by the menstrual cycle, and there will be repeated bleeding.

2. If a chocolate cyst appears in a woman's body, it will not only cause great pain to the patient, but also affect the normal functions of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes, making the woman infertile. The surrounding tissues of the cyst will also be affected. If it is close to the gastrointestinal tract, it will cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal pain.

Uterine and ovarian chocolate cysts are very harmful to women. They will also have adverse effects on surrounding tissues, and every time a woman has her period, the condition will be aggravated.

How do you get a chocolate cyst?

Chocolate cyst is a relatively serious gynecological disease, and patients must pay sufficient attention to it. The causes of chocolate cysts are generally the following.

1. The main function of the uterus and ovaries is to secrete hormones and ovulate, and the appearance of ovarian cysts is generally related to endocrine system, especially in women with excessive endocrine system. Staying up late and catching a cold during menstruation can affect your endocrine system and easily cause cysts.

2. Women's menstruation is not smooth, menstruation cannot be discharged completely, and even menstruation flows back to the pelvis, which can easily cause uterine and ovarian chocolate cysts. For example, women with a narrow cervix, a retroverted uterus, and too many abortions may all experience retrograde menstruation.

3. After a woman's egg cells are mature, they will be excreted if they are not fertilized. If both fallopian tubes are blocked, waste eggs will be deposited in the uterus and ovaries, which may lead to uterine and ovarian chocolate cysts.

The several conditions described in detail above are the most critical causes of chocolate cysts. In addition, excessive indulgence and sexual intercourse during menstruation can easily lead to infection, which can cause chocolate cysts in the uterus and ovaries.
