Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me if a corpus luteum rupture affects the body?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of corpus luteum rupture vary greatly. In some cases, there may be only sudden but mild pain on one side of the lower abdomen. The capillaries in the ruptured corpus luteum will heal on their own, and the small amount of blood that flows out will also be absorbed without leaving any aftereffects. In other cases, severe and unbearable abdominal pain may occur due to secondary rupture of blood vessels within the corpus luteum. The blood flows into the abdominal cavity, causing persistent abdominal pain. In severe cases, this can lead to hemorrhagic shock, characterized by profuse sweating, dizziness, headache, hypotension, and cold extremities. If treatment is not timely, it can be life-threatening.
