What are the symptoms of a corpus luteum cyst?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, everything was fine, but suddenly I started feeling stomach pain, which was very severe. Then I felt nauseous and kept wanting to vomit. My head also started feeling dizzy. Additionally, I experienced frequent urination. I felt something was wrong, so I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. The result said it was a corpus luteum cyst.
What kind of help is needed: What are the symptoms of a corpus luteum cyst?

Doctor's answer:

Follicular cysts and corpus luteum cysts are closely related to the menstrual cycle. The former is a cystic enlargement of the ovary before menopause, and if it ruptures again, it generally does not accompany vaginal bleeding. The latter is a cystic enlargement of the ovary before menstruation, and when it ruptures, in addition to symptoms of acute abdomen, it often accompanies vaginal bleeding. The rupture of these two types of cysts is difficult to distinguish from the rupture of ectopic pregnancy, and often requires laparotomy and pathological examination to make a final diagnosis.
