What are the symptoms of an ovarian corpus luteum cyst?

Patient's question:

I usually get my period on the 15th. Yesterday, I started experiencing sudden pain in my left abdomen, so severe that I couldn't move. I had to skip class and go home to rest. Upon arriving home, I noticed frequent urination and excessive thirst. This morning, when I went to bed, the symptoms disappeared. However, I still felt uneasy, so in the afternoon, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination.
What kind of help do I need: What are the symptoms of a corpus luteum cyst?

Doctor's answer:

Symptoms of ovarian corpus luteum cysts include:
1. Larger cysts can exert pressure on the bladder, leading to frequent urination and difficulty urinating. Especially when these symptoms are severe, bleeding is frequent, and they occur simultaneously, the likelihood of a woman having an ovarian cyst increases, and the danger of malignant ovarian cancer becomes greater.
2. When the cyst affects hormone supply, symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding or excessive hair growth may occur.
3. Enlarged waist circumference and abdominal swelling. The patient notices that their clothes or belt feel tight, only then realizing their abdomen has shrunk. Or, they may occasionally feel an abdominal mass in the morning while pressing their abdomen, accompanied by abdominal pain and discomfort.
