What is a corpus luteum cyst in pregnant women?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for over two months, I now always feel discomfort in my abdomen, bloating, and frequent gas. Previously, during my periods, I used to experience lower back pain, tired feet, and severe menstrual cramps. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with a corpus luteum cyst. There were no issues detected in my pre-pregnancy check-ups.
What kind of help do you need: What is a corpus luteum cyst in early pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Ovarian cysts usually do not cause any symptoms, but you may notice a solid, painless lump in the lower abdomen or experience pain during sexual activity. Large cysts can cause pressure on the bladder, leading to urinary retention, but this situation rarely occurs. When cysts affect hormone supply, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or excessive hair growth may reappear. Cysts can rupture, which can cause severe abdominal pain, nausea, and fever. It is best to have a thorough examination at a top-tier hospital to assess the specific situation. If surgical treatment is needed, it is usually necessary to closely monitor the condition and adjust the examination interval based on the circumstances.
