What is chocolate cyst (Ovarian Endometrioma)?
Chocolate cysts (Ovarian Endometrioma) are non-cancerous cysts filled with old and thickened menstrual blood, bits of endometrial tissue and inflammatory enzymes. They are also known as ovarian endometriomas. A chocolate cyst is usually formed when an endometrial tissue abnormally grows and attaches to the ovaries. They can affect one or both ovaries and may occur in multiples or singularly. They mostly occur in women who have endometriosis. A chocolate cyst can sometimes interfere with a woman’s fertility. They may imbalance the reproductive hormones leading to infertility.
Factors that affect the cost of chocolate cyst surgery in India
- The technique used for cyst removal:Â Gynecologists use two surgical techniques to remove chocolate cysts- laparotomy (open-cut) and laparoscopic surgery. Laparotomy surgery cost is slightly less compared to laparoscopic surgery in India. The reason for the variance in the cost is because the laparoscopic technique is a modern and minimally invasive method to remove cysts, and it has fewer risks.Â
- Size & number of chocolate cysts:Â If the number of cysts increases, the cost of surgery also increases. A gynecologist recommends surgery when one or more cysts in the ovaries grow larger than 4 centimeters. A large-sized cyst is quite difficult to remove than a smaller one. Moreover, the complexity of the surgical procedure increases as more time and effort are required to remove the entire cyst. Â
- Surgeon’s fee: The surgeon’s skills and experience play a major role in determining the cost of chocolate cyst surgery in India. Highly experienced and trained surgeons generally charge higher compared to less experienced surgeons. . Thus, experienced surgeons charge more than surgeons who have fewer years of experience. Â
- Cost of diagnostic tests: The doctor usually recommends a variety of diagnostic tests to identify chocolate cysts, and to determine their location, size, and number. The test results help plan the treatment accordingly. Some common diagnostic tests performed to diagnose chocolate cysts are CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, pregnancy test, CA-125 blood test, hormone level test, biopsy, etc. The cost of all these tests may affect the cost of the entire surgery.
- Choice of the hospital (government or private):Â Depending on the choice of hospital, the cost of chocolate cysts surgery may increase or decrease significantly. A private hospital charges more as compared to a government hospital. The variance in the cost of hospital is because the facilities and quality of care are much better in a private hospital as compared to a government hospital.
- Additional expenses:Â Apart from the above-mentioned factors, there are some miscellaneous expenses associated with surgical treatments, such as the cost of medicines, post-surgery consultations, travel expenses, etc., that add up to the complete cost of treatment.
