Chocolate cysts on the ovary are actually a type of endometriosis. The exact cause of endometriosis is currently unclear. Although this disease is a benign disease, it has a A very, very significant clinical feature is that it has a very, very high recurrence rate, and the recurrence rate of some patients can even be as high as 60 or even 70%.
Chocolate cysts can recur, and the probability of recurrence is relatively high. There are two specific reasons: First, because chocolate cysts occur in a wide range of locations, including the ovary, the uterus, or the cervix. Mouth and other parts. The second reason is that although the chocolate cyst is treated, the cause of the chocolate cyst is not resolved, so it is easy to relapse. Chocolate cysts are easy to recur.

They may also be caused by multiple miscarriages and dilation and curettage, so post-operative care for chocolate cysts must be done. .

The main purpose of auxiliary drug treatment is to try to control those tiny lesions that cannot be removed by surgery. The maximum Reducing the degree can prevent or delay the chance of recurrence after our surgery, or reduce our recurrence rate.
Therefore, ovarian chocolate cysts still have a high recurrence rate after surgery, but if we can achieve regular and sufficient drug-assisted treatment after surgery, regular and sufficient drug-assisted treatment, at the same time With regular review, we can also reduce the recurrence rate, or we can also achieve the effect of delaying the recurrence time.
