Is chocolate ovarian cyst serious?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

Chocolate ovarian cysts are caused by the implantation of endometrium into the ovary, where menstrual blood accumulates to form a cyst. Chocolate cysts are very prone to cause menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, infertility, and other diseases. If this condition occurs, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention at secondary or tertiary hospitals, consult a gynecologist for follow-up, and undergo surgical treatment based on specific circumstances, which tends to be more effective. During the treatment period, it is necessary to pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.
