Patient's question:
I just got married to my boyfriend and we are planning to get married in a year. My menstrual cycle has always been unstable, and recently I noticed that it hasn't come for a long time beyond the expected time. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I was diagnosed with a corpus luteum cyst. The key issue is that we are now busy with the wedding and don't want to get pregnant, but we are also worried that the corpus luteum cyst might interfere with menopause and childbirth in the future. What kind of help do you need: Does a corpus luteum cyst affect menopause?Doctor's answer:
The corpus luteum is formed by the follicular cavity after menopause. If it is present during pregnancy, it is called an early pregnancy corpus luteum. It does not appear again after pregnancy; rather, it is present only after pregnancy is confirmed, which is why it is called an early pregnancy corpus luteum. After menopause, most can be observed under ultrasound, and it typically disappears around 4 months. This is not absolute—due to different body constitutions, the disappearance time varies. The size of the corpus luteum can be measured in mm or cm, and the size is the same regardless of the unit used. A corpus luteum cyst will never interfere with pregnancy.
