Patient's question:
I had my period on the 2nd of this month, and then again on the 20th. My cycle is usually 40 days. I had an ultrasound, and it said I have a corpus luteum cyst on my right ovary, measuring 6cm x 5cm. On the 13th, I took one dose of Postinor.What kind of help I need: What should I do if the corpus luteum cyst doesn’t go away?
Doctor's answer:
The cases of ovarian cysts are varied, and ovarian cysts are classified as benign or malignant, as well as by size. If malignant tumors are detected, immediate surgical removal should be performed, followed by chemotherapy and other treatments to save lives, without considering pregnancy. If the tumor is benign, it is also divided into two types: functional and non-functional. It can occur in both unmarried and married women, with the highest incidence in women of childbearing age, often discovered during ultrasound examinations. Ruptured corpus luteum usually occurs between days 20 and 27 of the menstrual cycle, accompanied by sudden lower abdominal pain, nausea, dry vomiting, and frequent urination and defecation. Severe cases may exhibit symptoms such as dry mouth, palpitations, dizziness, blurred vision, and fainting, indicating shock.
