Patient's question:
After successful menopause, ultrasound shows normal ovarian size with no follicles remaining, but pregnancy has not occurred. On the fifth day of the menstrual cycle, ultrasound reveals a corpus luteum cyst measuring 53mm. The doctor said the cyst is too large to proceed with ovulation induction and recommended taking one month of Marvelon for rest. I also purchased Guizhi Fuling capsules, unsure if the cyst will disappear this month.What kind of help is needed: What should I do if a corpus luteum cyst forms after menopause?
Doctor's answer:
If the follicle grows but does not ovulate, it generally tends to gradually form a cyst and transform into luteinization of the unruptured follicle. Luteinization of the unruptured follicle syndrome refers to the condition where the follicle matures but does not rupture, and the oocyte is not released while remaining in situ and undergoing luteinization, forming a corpus luteum that secretes progesterone, causing the target organ to undergo a series of changes similar to those in the menopausal cycle. Clinical diagnosis is characterized by normal menstrual cycles, the presence of menopausal-like symptoms, but persistent infertility. It is a special type of menstrual disorder without menopause and is one of the important causes of infertility.
