Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I distinguish between inflammatory and non-inflammatory cysts?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian endometrioma, also known as a chocolate cyst, is a relatively common type of ovarian cyst. It is formed when endometrial tissue invades the ovary, creating a cyst filled with viscous, chocolate-like fluid. Patients often experience progressively worsening menstrual pain, dyspareunia (pain during intercourse), infertility, and menstrual irregularities. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to further gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up, identify the underlying cause, and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
