What should be done about a pregnant corpus luteum cyst?

Patient's question:

I'm pregnant, and today I feel like I have a corpus luteum cyst. I want to consult about it. What should I do if I have a corpus luteum cyst while pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

It is normal for a luteal cyst to form during pregnancy, and there is no need to be anxious or seek a solution. It usually disappears on its own after the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. However, if severe abdominal pain suddenly reappears, it is important to be aware of the possibility of a cyst rupture or inversion. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly visit a hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound examination. The first three months of pregnancy are relatively unstable, so it is important to pay close attention to rest and avoid heavy physical labor.
