Endometriosis, a common disease, has become women's nightmare in recent years. This disease, known as chocolate cyst, occurs as a result of the blood accumulating on the ovarian walls for various reasons turning into a cystic structure. If diagnosed early, the damage it causes to the reproductive organs can be controlled. It is seen in women of reproductive age; women who have given birth share the same risk rate as those who have not.
The earliest symptom is identified by pain during menstrual periods. Pain that occurs depending on ovarian activity and ovulation irregularities are among the observed symptoms. Symptoms such as brown discharge, pain during and after sexual intercourse can also result from chocolate cysts. The patient may complain of pain in the lower back, anus, and back areas, and nausea resulting in vomiting. In addition, burning in the urinary tract and the need to urinate frequently are also issues that patients complain about.
It can lead to blockages in the reproductive ducts and thus to health problems such as infertility. These problems, which prevent conception, also negatively affect daily life. Chocolate cyst, a disease that develops in 4 stages, is controlled with various treatments, from treatments aimed at pain relief to surgical interventions. As a result of interventions performed with laparoscopy, a special method, the ovary is cleared of the cyst. Laparoscopic surgeries constitute an important part of infertility treatments.
Experts state that women with endometriosis in their first-degree relatives are 7 times more at risk than others. Women not neglecting their routine check-ups after the age of 30 at the latest plays a major role in the early diagnosis of the disease. Medical help should be sought when the general symptoms of the disease are observed.
