What is a left corpus luteum cyst?

Patient's question:

Pregnant with an ovarian corpus luteum cyst for over a month, an examination revealed an ovarian cyst. The corpus luteum cyst is 6.7x5.9. What are the effects on the mother and child? What is the left corpus luteum cyst?

Doctor's answer:

The formation of corpus luteum can occur in three ways: (1) The formation of corpus luteum is caused by an imbalance of pituitary gonadotropins, especially in pregnant women with highly active corpus luteum function, large cavities, and excessive fluid accumulation. If the lumen diameter expansion is less than 2 centimeters, it is considered a corpus luteum cyst. (2) Albino cysts are mainly derived from corpus luteum cysts and cystic corpus luteum transformation. Due to certain factors, normal corpus luteum may also form cysts when it atrophies into a corpus albicans. (3) Follicular corpus luteum cysts are more common in molar pregnancy, invasive molar pregnancy, and choriocarcinoma. Echinococcosis accompanied by follicular corpus luteum cysts accounts for approximately 50-60%, though the actual incidence may be lower. They occasionally occur in normal early pregnancy and twins. The cysts usually cause minimal interference and are not a cause of pregnancy symptoms. Pay attention to a light diet, low sodium, and low fat.
