Chocolate cyst
Chocolate cyst is a "mass" but not a "tumor". It is a pathological change of endometriosis. Under normal circumstances, the endometrium grows in the uterine cavity and is influenced by female hormones in the body. Schematic diagram of chocolate cyst.

Fall off once a month to form menstruation. If the fragments of endometrium shed during menstrual period enter the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tube with menstrual blood countercurrent and are planted on the surface of the ovary or other parts of the pelvic cavity to form ectopic cysts, such ectopic endometrium is also affected by sex hormones, and repeatedly shed and bleed with the menstrual cycle. For example, if the lesion occurs on the ovary, there will be local bleeding during each menstrual period, which will enlarge the ovary and form a cyst containing old hematocele. This old blood is brown, sticky and chocolate-like, so it is also called "chocolate cyst". This kind of cyst can be gradually enlarged, and sometimes it will rupture during or after menstruation, but it rarely becomes malignant.

For chocolate cysts smaller than 8cm, drug treatment can be carried out to make them shrink to disappear completely; For the larger ones, surgical treatment should be given priority to prevent them from twisting or breaking due to body movement. In addition, oral contraceptives can be used for laparoscopic prevention of chocolate cysts.

Recurrence has a certain effect. Now we can use the most advanced laparoscopy, which uses a cold light source to provide illumination, inserts a laparoscopic lens (with a diameter of 3- 10mm) into the abdominal cavity, and uses digital camera technology to make the images captured by the laparoscopic lens be transmitted to the post-stage signal processing system through optical fiber and displayed on a special monitor in real time. Then the doctor analyzes and judges the patient's condition through the images of the patient's organs from different angles displayed on the monitor screen, and performs surgery with special laparoscopic instruments. During the operation, only three small holes of 0.5 ~1cm need to be opened in the abdomen of the patient. After recovery, only 1-3 linear scars of 0.5- 1 cm were left in the abdominal cavity, which was only the size of keyhole, so it can be said that the operation was small in wound surface and little in pain. The development of Stryker laparoscopic surgery has alleviated the pain of patients, shortened the recovery period of patients, and relatively reduced the expenses of patients. The most important thing is to effectively preserve the fallopian tubes, with a retention rate of 95.65%, which creates favorable conditions for future fertility, which is very suitable for women with fertility requirements. I hope to recover soon.
