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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if a corpus luteum rupture affects the body?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of corpus luteum rupture vary greatly. Some may only experience sudden but mild unilateral lower abdominal pain, where the capillaries in the ruptured corpus luteum heal on their own, and the small amount of blood that flows out is also absorbed without leaving any aftereffects. Others may suffer from severe and unbearable abdominal pain, which is caused by secondary rupture of blood vessels within the corpus luteum, with blood flowing into the abdominal cavity, leading to persistent abdominal pain. In severe cases, this can result in hemorrhagic shock, characterized by profuse sweating, dizziness, headache, hypotension, and cold extremities. If treatment is not timely, it can be life-threatening.
