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 falls off once a month under the influence of female hormones in the body, forming 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.

Because I am not a Chinese medicine practitioner, I don't know what prescription can be used to treat chocolate cyst. However, in clinic, many patients are treated surgically because of the ineffective treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and the abdominal pain. The most direct treatment of chocolate cyst is interventional therapy under ultrasound, that is, pumping out the cyst fluid under the guidance of B-ultrasound and injecting sclerosing agent, which can make the cyst disappear completely without surgery and has a definite effect. It is the first choice for the treatment of smart cyst at present. Drugs mainly use hormones, so they need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. I won't introduce you.

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 have a certain effect on preventing the recurrence of chocolate cysts. Nowadays, the most advanced laparoscopy can be used, which uses a cold light source to provide illumination, and the laparoscopic lens (

3- 10mm in diameter) is inserted into the abdominal cavity, and the images taken by the laparoscopic lens are transmitted to the post-signal processing system through optical fiber by using digital camera technology, and displayed on the 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. 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 and is very suitable for women with fertility requirements.
