Chocolate Cyst (Chocolate Cyst) or medically known as Endometrioma is a cyst caused by endometriosis (Endometriosis) commonly found in the ovaries, containing old blood that has accumulated over time, turning into a dark brown fluid resembling liquid chocolate 
 
Although it is not a malignant tumor, chocolate cysts can affect the female reproductive system and are one of the main causes of infertility 
 
<h2>‘Chocolate Cyst’ How does it affect fertility? </h2>
This condition can affect pregnancy in several ways as follows 
<ol>
<li> Obstruction of ovulation The cyst may compress normal ovarian tissue, causing abnormal growth and release of eggs, or eggs of insufficient quality for fertilization</li>
<li> Formation of pelvic adhesions Adhesions caused by chronic inflammation may block the fallopian tubes, preventing normal transport of eggs or sperm</li>
<li> Abnormality of the endometrium Embryo implantation may be incomplete if the uterine environment is unsuitable</li>
</ol>

<li>In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an appropriate option for those with long-term infertility, bilateral cysts, or multiple previous surgeries </li>
