Chocolate cyst surgical treatment

Surgical treatment of chocolate cysts is a relatively common method, mainly for cysts that are relatively large and have already caused pressure on the patient or affected the patient's normal life, especially for patients with cysts with a diameter of five centimeters or more, they must pay attention to surgical treatment.

1. Surgery is a method of treating chocolate cysts. Patients whose chocolate cysts are large, put pressure on the patient, or affect their normal life should consider surgery. Experts say that smaller chocolate cysts in women are usually less likely to rupture. When a female patient's cyst grows to more than 3 cm, the risk of spontaneous rupture begins to appear and gradually increases. When the cyst grows to a certain size, spontaneous rupture is often difficult to avoid. Therefore, once a woman is diagnosed with a chocolate cyst, she should promptly adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Only when the diameter of the cyst reaches or exceeds 5 cm should the patient consider surgical treatment to eliminate the risk of the "bomb" exploding.

2. The surgical methods include minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery and open surgery. For patients over 45 years old, if the chocolate cyst is relatively large and continues to grow, or if the diagnosis is not clear and it is suspected to be a tumor of other nature, laparotomy should be performed, but try not to remove the uterus and ovaries because they are indispensable endocrine organs for women. Similarly, for women who do not desire to have children, surgical treatment can be performed if they meet the surgical indications.

3. Laparoscopic surgery to remove the diseased ovary can also relieve symptoms. But not everything is fine after the operation, because after the operation, the human body will resume ovulation, perform endocrine functions, and the remaining endometrium will begin to grow again, so the body needs to recover for a period of time after the operation before considering pregnancy.
