Chocolate cyst symptoms?

Dysmenorrhea is secondary and aggravating year by year, but a few patients have no obvious dysmenorrhea. Ectopic endometrium is affected by ovarian hormones, and has the same periodic changes as normal endometrium. In the second half of menstruation, the ectopic endometrium is highly thickened and congested, the pressure in the endometriosis tumor increases gradually, and the blood accumulates in the capsule during menstruation, which suddenly increases the pressure on the capsule wall and causes pain. Therefore, the characteristics of Endometriosis Dysmenorrhea start from before menstruation or even the second half of the cycle, and last for the whole menstrual period to disappear a few days after menstruation. Most of the pain sites were in the middle of the lower abdomen, or on one side, and the lesions infiltrated into the uterus and rectum. Menorrhagia, menstrual blood volume, is also one of the common clinical symptoms, general menstrual cycle law performance for menorrhagia or with a long time.

30-70% of infertile patients with endometriosis are accompanied by infertility. About 70-80% of infertile patients with unknown causes are accompanied by endometriosis. Infertility is often caused by mechanical factors such as pelvic organ adhesion, obstruction of oviduct peristalsis or blockage of oviduct. It may also be due to ovarian insufficiency, enhanced autoimmune response and increased prostaglandin, Prolactin and other factors.

The wall of ovarian endometrial cyst is brittle and lack of elasticity. Menstrual blood accumulates gradually. The pressure in the cyst increases continuously. The contents can burst from the weak part of the cyst wall and overflow into the abdominal cavity to stimulate the peritoneum, causing peritonitis and acute abdomen.
