Chocolate cysts are noncancerous, fluid-filled cysts that typically form deep within the ovaries. They get their name from their brown, tar-like appearance, looking something like melted chocolate. They’re also called ovarian endometriomas.
The color comes from old menstrual blood and tissue that fills the cavity of the cyst. A chocolate cyst can affect one or both ovaries.
What are the symptoms of Chocolate Cyst?
Chocolate cysts may cause symptoms in some women. Some women may not experience any symptoms.
This means a woman with a small cyst may experience symptoms, while someone with a large one may not. Cysts can range from 2 to 20 cm in size.
When symptoms do occur, they’re similar to those of endometriosis. They can include-
- Painful, crampy periods
- Pelvic pain not related to your menstrual cycle
- Irregular periods
- Pain during sex
- Infertility for some women
If a chocolate cyst ruptures, it can cause severe, sudden abdominal pain on the side of the body where the cyst is located. A ruptured cyst can be a medical emergency.
Risk Factors Affecting Chocolate Cyst
- Genetics: People with a family history of endometriosis are more likely to get the condition.
- Retrograde menstrual flow: This happens when period blood travels in the reverse direction, going up the fallopian tubes instead of out of the vagina.
- Immune disorders: Certain immune system issues, especially autoimmune disorders, may cause endometriosis.
- Injuries: Damage to the uterus or surrounding structures correlate with an increased risk of endometriosis. These injuries can occur, for example, during cesarean delivery.
