HealthPhoto: HT HealthFertility Doctor Explains Chocolate Cysts and Their Effects
A chocolate cyst is a type of ovarian cyst filled with dark, old blood caused by endometriosis, where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This tissue on the ovary thickens and bleeds monthly, trapping blood and forming cysts. Symptoms include pelvic pain, painful periods, soreness during intercourse, frequent urination, back pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Removal may be necessary.
