Is a corpus luteum cyst serious?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is a corpus luteum cyst serious?

Doctor's answer:

If it is a corpus luteum cyst, it is not serious. Corpus luteum cysts are usually physiological cysts, which can disappear on their own when the next menstrual period comes. Treatment is usually not necessary. You don't need to treat it now. Wait until after your next menstrual period and when the bleeding stops, then have a follow-up ultrasound. If it has disappeared by then, there is no problem. If it is still present, it would be pathological. For pathological cases, medication may need to be considered. It may require treatment for three months, and if it is smaller than 5 centimeters, surgery may be necessary.
