Will a corpus luteum cyst go away on its own? Women, please take a closer look

Among the various gynecological diseases in women, corpus luteum cyst is one of the more common ones. After the occurrence of corpus luteum cyst, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. If the cyst is still relatively small, don’t worry too much, it may disappear on its own, but if the cyst continues to grow, you need to pay attention.

1. Will the corpus luteum cyst disappear on its own?

Corpus luteum cysts will disappear on their own. Pregnant women are prone to corpus luteum cysts. The diameter of the corpus luteum during normal and pregnancy period is less than 2 cm. If the diameter of the corpus luteum reaches 2-3 cm, it is called a cystic corpus luteum; if the diameter is greater than 3 cm, it is called a corpus luteum cyst. When corpus luteum cysts have no clinical symptoms, no treatment is required and most of them can disappear on their own.

2. Ovarian corpus luteum cyst is a common disease in gynecology. The normal corpus luteum is a cystic structure that can slightly enlarge the ovaries. If the cystic corpus luteum persists or grows, or the corpus luteum hematoma contains a large amount of blood, the blood will be absorbed and may cause a corpus luteum cyst. A small number of corpus luteum cysts will disappear with the secretion of hormones in the body. Once a corpus luteum cyst occurs, you should pay attention to regular check-ups. As long as it does not increase in size and there is no other discomfort, you do not need to treat it. When a corpus luteum cyst sometimes ruptures and causes abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, you should seek medical attention immediately if this happens.

3. Physiological cysts will disappear on their own. If there is no cyst during follow-up examination, then there is no big problem.

Suggestions: Pathological cysts will grow larger or have uneven echoes. If there is no cyst during follow-up examination, it means that it is physiological and normal.

Generally speaking, benign cysts such as follicular cysts are mostly below 5 cm and around 3 cm. At this time, they should be observed for three months. If the follicular cysts shrink or do not increase in size within about two months, then the cysts will disappear on their own after a period of time. In this case, no surgery is required.

Suggestions: However, if the cyst continues to grow (greater than 5 cm), surgical treatment is necessary. Therefore, after the discovery of ovarian cysts, further regular reexaminations should be conducted to determine whether they are functional or tumorous so that different treatments can be adopted.

5. Corpus luteum cyst is caused by the action of hormones in the body after pregnancy, which causes the corpus luteum to enlarge and cause a cyst-like mass. It usually shrinks gradually after three months of pregnancy.

Guidance: If the corpus luteum cyst is relatively large, it may cause rupture, pedicle torsion and other risks in early pregnancy. Avoid sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise. If there is no abnormality, it will generally shrink on its own after three months of pregnancy.
