Patient's question:
What is corpus luteum cyst? I had a gynecological examination today, and the doctor found a pigeon egg-sized thing on the right side of my uterus. She recommended I have an ultrasound, which showed that my corpus luteum is enlarged and there is a little pelvic effusion. I don't know what this is about? How can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to a formal infertility hospital as soon as possible to identify the cause and take corresponding treatment measures accordingly. Avoid blindly treating it to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings. A normal corpus luteum is a cystic structure that 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 that is absorbed, it can lead to corpus luteum cysts. Since the cyst continues to secrete progesterone, it often causes delayed menstruation. If the cyst ruptures, it can cause abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, which is very similar to the rupture of an ectopic pregnancy. Wish you good health!
