Patient's question:
I have been experiencing irregular menstruation for the past year, mostly with delays in the onset, while the amount of menstrual blood has actually increased. Before each menstrual period, I have severe lower abdominal pain, and I really feel that something is wrong. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found fluid in the pelvis, but there were no obvious signs of blood flow. What kind of help is needed: What is a corpus luteum cyst?Doctor's answer:
Follicular cysts are more common in women of reproductive age. The common causes include luteal cyst, corpus luteum cyst, and follicular theca lutein cyst. Common symptoms include lower abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination and defecation. A normal corpus luteum is a cystic structure that can slightly reduce the size of the ovary. If a cystic corpus luteum persists or grows, or if a corpus luteum hematoma contains a large amount of blood that is coagulated, it can form a corpus luteum cyst. Since the cyst continuously secretes progesterone, it often causes delayed menstruation. It is generally not necessary to treat it, and it is recommended to follow up after menstruation. If vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain symptoms reappear, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
