What are the harms of chocolate cysts to the body?

I believe that chocolate cyst is very unfamiliar to many people who don’t know much about medicine and have only heard the name. It is not the chocolate we eat, but rather something similar to chocolate cyst lesions piled together. Many people say that it is actually a kind of cancer. We all know what cancer means to us. If we have cancer, we are not far from death. So what are the harms of chocolate cysts to the body and how to treat them?

Chocolate cyst is a "lump" but not a "tumor". It is a lesion of endometriosis. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium grows in the uterine cavity and is affected by female hormones in the body, shed once a month, forming menstruation. If the endometrial fragments shed during menstruation flow back through the fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity with menstrual blood and implant on the surface of the ovaries or other parts of the pelvic cavity, ectopic cysts will be formed. This ectopic endometrium is also affected by sex hormones and sheds and bleeds repeatedly with the menstrual cycle.

If the lesion occurs on the ovary, there will be local bleeding during each menstrual period, which will cause the ovary to enlarge and form a cyst containing old blood. This old blood is brown and sticky like a paste, similar to chocolate, so it is also called a "chocolate cyst." The cyst may gradually increase in size and sometimes rupture during or after menstruation, but rarely becomes malignant.

Traditional Chinese medicine generally adopts the means of treatment based on syndrome differentiation, based on the principle of treating both the symptoms and the root cause, warming the kidney and invigorating yang, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, adjusting the body's internal environment, and eliminating the internal causes of the disease. At the same time, warming the meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis can normalize menstruation and gradually eliminate dysmenorrhea. Ectopic masses, nodules, and chocolate cysts, which are what traditional Chinese medicine calls "accumulation of symptoms and masses," are dissolved, absorbed, and dissipated.

Menstruation will come normally during the medication period. It also promotes follicle growth and ovulation, so conception is possible. After conception, there is no adverse effect on the embryo, and conception is one of the best ways to treat this disease.

Well, the editor has introduced in detail the dangers of chocolate cysts and how to treat them. Sometimes we often encounter diseases that are named according to their appearance. This method is indeed very vivid, but it sometimes leads to misunderstandings among non-medical professionals. We must accumulate and understand more medical knowledge carefully in our daily lives.
