What should be done about an ovarian corpus luteum cyst in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I was still immersed in the joy of pregnancy when I was told about an ovarian corpus luteum cyst. What should I do about an ovarian corpus luteum cyst in the early stages of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Ovulation, the corpus luteum reappears. If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum will gradually expand and disappear. If pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum will expand into an early pregnancy corpus luteum, secreting progesterone to encourage early pregnancy. Therefore, if a recurrent corpus luteum cyst appears, it is likely a corpus luteum cyst, and there is no need to worry.
By week 7-8 of pregnancy, the early pregnancy corpus luteum will gradually disappear, and the placenta will secrete progesterone to encourage early pregnancy. Please pay attention to follow-up examinations.
