Smaller chocolate cysts may disappear on their own after a woman’s menopause. However, patients with cochlear cysts need to be treated aggressively if uncomfortable symptoms exist.
Chocolate cysts are formed when ectopic endometrium grows inside the ovaries and bleeds with the menstrual cycle, forming cysts with the presence of stale blood. So if a woman has regular menstruation and endometrial bleeding occurs with menstruation, chocolate cysts will persist. However, after menopause, the endometrium no longer bleeds, and at this time, if the chocolate cyst is small, it is possible for it to gradually shrink and disappear.
However, if patients with chocolate cysts still have menstruation, there are symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menstrual abnormalities and infertility. It is necessary to go to a regular hospital in time, and the doctor will decide the specific treatment plan according to the symptoms, size of the cysts, fertility needs and other considerations. The disease can be cured through active treatment. It is recommended to consult a specialized doctor for specific cases.
