Patient's question:
Sister is pregnant. The past two days, she had severe nausea and vomiting, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was an early pregnancy corpus luteum cyst. What is an early pregnancy corpus luteum cyst?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms described, there was a corpus luteum cyst in the ovaries in the early stages of pregnancy. This is normal and will gradually disappear. It will absolutely not cause any interference to the baby or the mother. A normal corpus luteum diameter during pregnancy is less than 2 cm. If the diameter reaches 2 to 3 cm, it is called a cystic corpus luteum, and if the diameter is greater than 3 cm, it is called a corpus luteum cyst. It is recommended to monitor the recurrence of corpus luteum cysts during pregnancy. These cysts are generally very small, so even if they are detected during pregnancy, they can be managed through careful observation without considering surgical treatment. For corpus luteum cysts, if the condition is severe, it is best to go to a comprehensive gynecology and obstetrics department at a local top-tier public hospital for a thorough examination. Mentally, one should take it seriously, avoid a relaxed attitude, and not have pressure or fear. In terms of treatment, one should cooperate with the doctor and follow up regularly.
