Patient's question:
Lately, there's always something brown coming down. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you described, a normal corpus luteum is typically a cystic structure, which can cause the ovary to slightly enlarge. If the cystic corpus luteum persists or grows, or if the corpus luteum hematoma contains a large amount of blood, the blood being absorbed can lead to corpus luteum cysts. Due to the continuous secretion of progesterone by the cysts, the menstrual cycle is often delayed. If the cyst ruptures, it can cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, which is very similar to the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy.
