Why do you get chocolate cysts?

The formation of chocolate cysts may be related to endocrine disorders, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and other reasons.

1. Endocrine disorders:

Chocolate cysts are usually old blood cysts formed due to the growth of ectopic endometrium in the ovaries and bleeding during the menstrual cycle. If the patient's body lacks progesterone or the plasma follicle-stimulating hormone level is too high, it is easy to cause ovarian dysfunction and form chocolate cysts.

2. Pelvic inflammatory disease:

Pelvic inflammation generally refers to inflammatory lesions of the female upper reproductive tract organs and their surrounding tissues, usually involving adjacent tissues. If the inflammation is repeatedly stimulated, it will cause local abnormal bleeding, leading to blood congestion and the formation of chocolate cysts.

3. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, which refers to the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and myometrium. If endometrial tissue grows in the ovaries, it can cause local bleeding and form chocolate cysts.
