Does a corpus luteum cyst disappear on its own?

Patient's question:

Recently, every month when I have my period, I feel very uncomfortable, and I also have a sense of abdominal pain. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a corpus luteum cyst. I would like to ask. Do corpus luteum cysts usually disappear on their own?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, corpus luteum cysts are relatively common in gynecology. Since the normal corpus luteum is a cystic structure, it can cause the ovary to shrink. Generally, they are also more common than cysts, so it is essential to pay close attention and observe carefully, as well as undergo regular ultrasound examinations at the hospital to monitor the specific condition of the cyst. If the cyst shrinks again, timely surgical treatment should be performed. Generally, corpus luteum cysts cannot heal on their own.
