"What is Ovarian Corpus Luteum Rupture? How Does It Occur?"

Rupture of corpus luteum refers to the rupture of the physiological cystic structure of the corpus luteum after ovulation, which may be spontaneous or caused by trauma, compression, and other factors. The rupture of corpus luteum may result in blood vessel damage at the rupture site, leading to bleeding. There is a significant individual difference in the amount of bleeding. Some patients may have no obvious symptoms, while others may have a large amount of bleeding, which may be so severe as to cause shock. If not promptly treated with surgery, some patients may lose their lives. Corpus luteum cysts are located on the surface of the ovaries, and some of them are prone to rupture due to excessive tension. The main inducements include trauma, compression during gynecological examination, sexual intercourse collision stimulation, running, jumping, severe coughing, pelvic inflammation, etc. When women experience sudden lower abdominal pain, even if it is not severe, they must be alert to the possibility of corpus luteum rupture and seek medical attention promptly for examinations such as B-ultrasound. Not all cases of corpus luteum rupture are severe. Some women may have a small rupture or a minor blood vessel injury, resulting in minimal or no bleeding. In some cases, only the cyst fluid leaks out, and monitoring may be sufficient, with surgical intervention not always necessary.
