What causes corpus luteum rupture?

Corpus luteum rupture may still be relatively unfamiliar to women who have not experienced it. But in fact, corpus luteum rupture is still a very common phenomenon in daily life, and most of them occur among young women. The corpus luteum is a vascular gland-like structure formed in the female body after ovulation. If the egg cell is not fertilized successfully, it will shrink autonomously until it disappears. But how does the corpus luteum rupture occur?

Causes of Corpus Luteum Rupture

1. Fully automatic splitting. Under normal circumstances, the yellow body bleeds, but if the bleeding is too much, it may increase the pressure of the yellow body and cause spontaneous rupture. Some people believe that during the luteinization period, blood vessels do not function fully, which can easily lead to capillary bleeding in the corpus luteum and cause corpus luteum rupture.

2. The result of external force. When the lower abdomen is hit, as well as when you jump, run, cough hard or defecate vigorously, the pressure in the abdomen suddenly increases, which can promote the decomposition of the corpus luteum. In addition, during sexual intercourse, the female reproductive organs expand and swell, the tension in the corpus luteum increases, and the man's movements are rough, and the woman's lower abdomen is subjected to severe impact, which can also cause corpus luteum rupture.

Generally, corpus luteum rupture occurs between two menstrual periods or in the early stages of menstruation, mostly after sexual intercourse. Once the corpus luteum rupture occurs, women will experience sudden severe pain in the abdomen. In severe cases, capillaries may rupture, causing shock and duodenal irritation. Regardless of the cause of corpus luteum rupture, the degree of abdominal pain caused by personal factors varies, and some people even think that it is mild and can be ignored.

The treatment standards are basically the same as those for ectopic pregnancy, and there are two methods: traditional and surgical treatment.

1. Conservative treatment

For some corpus luteum cysts that rupture but do not bleed much, the rupture can close spontaneously after conservative treatment. If the disease is confirmed by laparoscopy, conservative treatment is performed. Recovery is achieved when abdominal pain and blood stasis disappear.

2. Surgery

The disease has an acute onset, severe clinical manifestations, multiple capillary ruptures or ectopic pregnancy. Early surgical treatment can reduce excessive blood loss. The method is to open the abdomen to promote blood circulation. The ruptured corpus corpus often needs to be removed and then sutured again surgically. During the operation, blood clots are eliminated and fresh capillary ruptures can be autotransfused.
