What is the cause of a weak echo in a corpus luteum cyst?

Patient's question:

Go to the hospital for a thorough examination and found two cysts in the left ovary. I haven't had my period for a month. Later, I experienced left lower abdominal pain, but I don't know if this is an endometrioma. However, I don't have any children yet. What kind of help do you need: What is the meaning of a weak echo in a corpus luteum cyst?

Doctor's answer:

A normal corpus luteum is a cystic structure that can slightly reduce the size of the ovary. If the cystic corpus luteum persists or grows, or if a corpus luteum hematoma contains a large amount of blood that is reabsorbed, it can form a corpus luteum cyst. Since the cyst continues to secrete progesterone, it often causes delayed menstruation. This generally does not require treatment, and it is recommended to follow up after menstruation. If symptoms of vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain reappear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
