Patient's question:
I've been married for many years, and now I'm preparing to get pregnant. However, when I had a thorough check-up, I found out I have a corpus luteum cyst. The doctor said to take medication and see how it works, and if it shrinks, I can get pregnant. But I'm feeling upset because this might not be good for getting pregnant and could affect the baby. What kind of help do I need: Can a corpus luteum cyst interfere with menopause?Doctor's answer:
Follicular cysts will never interfere with menopause. After menopause, it forms a corpus luteum. The corpus luteum is usually cystic, but if it is below a certain size, it is considered a follicular cyst. This occurs in a certain proportion of pregnant women. The corpus luteum generally begins to grow about six to seven weeks after the last menstrual period. Follicular cysts generally do not affect pregnancy or the fetus.To prevent this, irregular ultrasound monitoring can be used to track its size. If there is no risk of complete torsion and rupture, surgery may not be necessary. If it is unusually large, surgery may be performed to remove it. Ovarian lutein cysts generally do not interfere with pregnancy.
