Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Ectopic corpus luteum rupture most commonly occurs within one week after the mid-cycle. External factors that generally cause corpus luteum rupture include: impact to the lower abdomen, as well as vigorous jumping, running, forceful coughing, or straining during a bowel movement, which can cause a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure, potentially leading to the rupture of a mature corpus luteum.
