Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat snow fungus after eating tremella?Doctor's answer:
Hello, yes, chocolate cyst (endometrioma) is a type of endometriosis. Currently, the drugs used to treat endometriosis generally cause the patient's menstrual cycle to stop during the medication period, and the symptoms of dysmenorrhea can be relieved. The drugs can also inhibit the growth of ectopic endometrium. However, chocolate cysts, as the name suggests, their cyst fluid is a very thick liquid similar to chocolate, and its absorption process is extremely slow. Clinically, it is common to see patients with multiple years of menopause still having chocolate cysts. Therefore, drug treatment may cause the size of the chocolate cyst to shrink, but it is relatively difficult to eliminate them. If the symptoms do not improve after drug treatment, local lesions worsen, or fertility has not been restored, or the chocolate cyst diameter is greater than 5-6 cm, especially for those who urgently want to conceive, laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst can be considered.
