Patient's question:
Married and childless, having occasional sexual activity. I have had irregular periods for a long time, with intervals of 30, 40, 50, or even 60 days sometimes. In early 2015, an ultrasound examination revealed a corpus luteum cyst, but I got my period three days after the examination and didn't take it seriously. A few days ago, I had another examination, and it was found that I still had a corpus luteum cyst. However, I got my period again a few days after the examination. The doctors said it was nothing, but I'm still a bit worried, fearing it might be a pathological cyst. Moreover, for the past five months, my menstrual pain has been very severe, requiring pain relievers to alleviate it. What should I do about the corpus luteum cyst issue?Doctor's answer:
Ovarian corpus luteum cysts do not require treatment; they are a physiological phenomenon, and corpus luteum formation occurs before menstruation. The ultrasound report shows no other issues. Your menstrual pain is primary dysmenorrhea, for which there is currently no particularly effective solution. If the pain is severe, you can take ibuprofen orally to improve blood circulation, or you can use many traditional Chinese medicine remedies for dysmenorrhea. Try to eat fewer cold and raw foods. It may improve after childbirth.The ratio of LH and FSH in your sex hormone levels is high, so your menstrual cycle is shortened. You can take medication for 10 days in the second half of your cycle, and you will have your period within 10 days after stopping the medication. Continue this for three menstrual cycles, then stop for a month and retest your sex hormone levels.
