Ruptured chocolate cyst

Pelvic endometriosis can easily affect the ovaries. The ectopic endometrium periodically bleeds in the ovarian tissue, causing the ovaries to continue to grow and form chocolate cysts. This cyst is often bilateral. Ovarian chocolate cysts rupture spontaneously or under the influence of external forces due to a variety of factors. Ruptures can occur repeatedly. After rupture, old blood overflows into the abdominal cavity, causing severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, etc., often requiring emergency treatment. Rupture of cysts mostly occurs in the premenstrual and menstrual periods. Rupture of ovarian chocolate cysts is a new type of acute abdomen in the field of gynecology. In the past, it was insufficiently understood and often neglected. Now its understanding is gradually deepening, so it has attracted attention.
