Patient's question:
Last month on the 26th, my period started, and I've been in pain ever since. It still hurts now. Yesterday, I had an ultrasound and found a corpus luteum cyst. The gynecological examination revealed pelvic inflammatory disease. Hello, is the corpus luteum cyst caused by pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
After a normal menstrual period, ovulation occurs and the ovary bleeds, forming a cyst called a corpus luteum cyst. This type of cyst can also resolve on its own. They are all physiological cysts and may reappear with the menstrual cycle or disappear on their own. If the cyst persists after repeated examinations, medication treatment may be needed. Generally, cyst issues are not serious, so there is no need to worry too much. Pelvic inflammation will never cause corpus luteum cysts; pelvic inflammation can be treated with antibiotics. It is recommended to have irregular follow-up examinations.
