Patient's question:
I got divorced from my husband a year ago and recently got pregnant, but I've been experiencing abdominal pain. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said it's a corpus luteum cyst. Hello, is it normal to have lower abdominal pain with a corpus luteum cyst during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Luteinizing hormone is a common phenomenon in the early stages of early pregnancy. Mature follicles form the corpus luteum after menopause. If the cyst ruptures, it may cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding again, which is very similar to the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. So you don't need to worry now, just observe carefully.When blood vessels develop, blood flows into the corpus luteum cavity (corpus luteum hematoma). Under normal conditions, the corpus luteum is cystic. Under pathological conditions, a diameter of 1.5-2.5 centimeters is called a cystic corpus luteum cyst; a diameter greater than 2.5 centimeters is called a corpus luteum cyst. The corpus luteum cyst is a physiological cyst, which can gradually grow or disappear after 8 weeks of early pregnancy. It does not affect the health of the fetus and the pregnant woman.
Currently, there are no severe symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. Focus on careful observation, and regular check-ups can be scheduled.
