How is a corpus luteum cyst treated after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, I would like to consult. I have been pregnant for two months recently. Before getting pregnant, the prenatal check-up was normal, but yesterday when I had a thorough examination, the doctor said I had an ovarian corpus luteum cyst after getting pregnant. Is this caused by hormonal imbalance due to pregnancy? Is it serious?

Doctor's answer:

If you find a corpus luteum cyst in your ovary during a careful ultrasound examination after getting pregnant, this is generally determined based on the size of the corpus luteum cyst. If the diameter of the corpus luteum cyst is not less than 5 centimeters and there are no further obvious symptoms of pain, it is usually not necessary to address it. However, if there is a significant pain, you can consider various surgical methods to resolve the issue. But during pregnancy, such surgery is not easily performed.
