Patient's question:
Detected luteal dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
1. Corpus Luteum Atrophy: The corpus luteum fails to fully regress within the specified time frame, or the regression period is prolonged. It may also continue to secrete progesterone during a woman's menstrual period, leading to extended menstruation or spotting. If the corpus luteum regresses prematurely, the woman may experience increased menstrual flow or frequent menstruation. This condition is often observed after miscarriage or induced abortion, especially in women who also have uterine fibroids or adenomyosis.2. Luteal Phase Defect: Luteal phase defect refers to the premature regression of the corpus luteum in women. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as frequent menstruation, short cycles, premenstrual bleeding, or increased menstrual flow. The occurrence of luteal phase defect can lead to infertility or miscarriage in women.
The common classifications of abnormal corpus luteum function in women are the two mentioned above. The emergence of this abnormality can affect a woman's fertility, leading to issues such as infertility or miscarriage. If a woman experiences abnormal corpus luteum function, she should take timely measures to seek treatment.
