How is a corpus luteum cyst treated in early pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up recently. The doctor diagnosed me as pregnant, but after getting pregnant, my health has been getting worse. I've also experienced many abdominal pains again, which is very uncomfortable. After the diagnosis, the doctor said I have early corpus luteum cyst symptoms. What kind of help is needed: How to treat early corpus luteum cysts?

Doctor's answer:

After conception, a corpus luteum cyst is benign. However, as the uterus grows with pregnancy, the stalk of the corpus luteum cyst may reverse, causing severe abdominal pain. To prevent shock or peritonitis due to pain, surgical treatment is recommended. A simple corpus luteum cyst is clearly visible as a fluid-filled tumor on ultrasound. However, if during pregnancy it is discovered that the ovarian corpus luteum cyst is not a simple fluid-filled tumor but a solid tumor, due to the concern that it has a 2% to 5% chance of being malignant, surgical treatment is best performed during the second or third month of pregnancy.
