Corpus Luteum Rupture

Question: Corpus luteum cyst and pregnancy? Anyone have any experience with corpus luteum cysts during early pregnancy? If so, did yours rupture? What was the pain like? Before it ruptured, was the pain of the cyst intermittant, constant, did it skip for a few days then come back? Any advice or info. is helpful! :)

Answer: I had one during my first trimester. It didn't rupture per say. The nurse told me it dissolves on its own around 10-12 weeks. The pain was worse than cramps. At times it was so bad I couldn't do anything but lay down. The good news is that the pain gets better. Each week was better than the previous. As much as I hated it, the pain sort of relieved some anxiety about my baby. After the pain went away I was a basket case(since I never had morning sickness) I didn't know of my baby was ok. Don't worry if you have it. It's perfectly normal. And the pain is forgotten once you start feeling your baby kick.

Question: When will a corpus luteum cyst stop hurting? I'm 8 weeks pregnant and went to the emergency room on Saturday with a sharp ache in my lower right abdomen. An ultrasound found a corpus luteum cyst on my ovary, currently measuring 4cm- according to the sonographer, they usually stop growing at 3cm. It doesn't look like the cyst has ruptured- it's just become really painful when I stand, walk, or go to the toilet. The doctor said it's harmless, and all I can do is wait it out. It will either burst or shrink away. I've heard about these and I'm not too worried about the cyst itself, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this situation- in particular, how long it has taken for the pain to subside after the cyst flares up? Also how did it resolve for you? Did the cyst rupture, shrink, or did you need an operation? Thanks in advance for any help! Oh, extra question (sorry)- if you had to have surgery, was it in the first trimester or later? And if in the first trimester, did the pregnancy proceed all right after that? (Thank you!) LOL- new at this- can't help adding- I know the CL cyst is supposed to be there, but it's not supposed to become this painful and it's not supposed to get so big. This question is for anyone who's had a problem with their cyst working a little too well (as my Dr calls it!) (Thanks for your answer- not trying to dismiss)

Answer: The previous poster was right to an extent - the Corpus Luteum is supposed to be there...but not as a cyst. It only becomes a cyst if/when it fills with fluid or blood and stays on the ovary. Mine hasn't been resolved yet, so I can't help you there. But I wish you luck!

Question: How to solve the medical malpractice case? I need your excellent opinion and good informations. I have a problem to be solved immediately. I am 23 years old woman. never married, no experience in sexual intercourse, physically virgin. Perfectly healthy before this happen. 7 weeks ago, I felt pain in lower back and went to the pain clinic and consulted doctor. After consultation he gave me injections in my lower spine. It was about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. After that, I came home and slept but awakened by severe pain in my belly (the abdomen) 3 o'clock in the next morning. I called 911 and went to emergency room in hospital. They checked and told me there was a lot of blood in the belly and need immediate operation. Operations done immediately and taken about two and half hours and they got rid of blood about 700 ml. I was given two bags of blood transfusion during operation. They cut the velly about 15cm and I have a scar now. After operation, Doctor told me it was corpus luteum rupture. After leaving hospital, I went to the pain clinic and met the doctor who treated me and asked about the medicine which I had been injected 7 weeks ago. But doctor said it was only a coincidence and he did nothing wrong and refused more explanation and rejected giving me the document of medical diagnosis and treatment (medical chart). I asked him if he use the a hormone drug in injection and he said he never used a hormone drug in my treatment. And he just gave me a simple memo instead of full copy of chart. Contents of memo was " Lidocaine 5ml " only. Therefore I met the chief of hospital and he issued the document. Document of medical chart said as follows. 1) Triamcinolone 40 mg/ml (1ml) 1 vial * 1 1 EPI 2) 2% Lidocaine 400mg/20ml (20ml) 1 vial * 1 1 EPI I known that the doctor lied me about using of hormone drug and dosages. He even lied me about the volume of medicine. In fact, I can not believe the credibility of the issued copy of document which issued by the chief of hospital. I have heard that hormon medicine like triamcinolone have big side effects to blood vessels. I think It affected seriously in rupture of the corpus luteum. I also so worry about relapse of this thing and any harm to the pregnancy in the future. But, I have not much informations about hormone medicine and informations in internet and guidebook in pharmaceutical company are superficial and can not understand. Hospital said that I must present them medical evidence about correlations with the use of triamcinolone and rupture of the corpus luteum. They refused talk. Please inform me of any opinion and idea to solve this problem. (1) Correlation with the use of triamcinolone and corpus luteum rupture (2) Side effect of triamcinolone (3) Any medical thesis or journal or report relevant to this case (4) Possibility of maltreatment during injection to spine (ovary exists near front of injection point) (5) How to find out this relevant source material or informations (6) How to handle this case (legal point or strategy) I fully sincerely appreciate you in advance. Thank you so much your long attention. Laura LAURAPALTON @YAHOO.COM

Question: Corpus Luteum Cyst when pregnant - anyone??? Hi there, i've just found out this week that I'm pregnant - have been getting a pain in my left ovary (where I usually feel ovulation pain) since conception and it gets quite uncomfortable. I have tried looking everywhere on the internet for this and some kind lady (thanks Anne) told me about the Corpus luteum cyst. I did some research and there is some info about this. The symptoms seem correct etc. I went to visit my GP today and mentioned it to her and she pretty much laughed at me!! she said the pain is nothing to worry about. To be honest i dont think she knew what one was!! she said take paracetamol for any pain!!! Just wondering if anyone else has had one of these and what your gp said? I have read about them rupturing, how you cant have intercourse etc and i just dont know what to think! I have my midwife appt on 15th May so will ask her then! any help would be great!!

Answer: Every time you ovulate, you get a corpus luteum cyst. It produces progesterone, which is needed to sustain pregnancy. If you do not get pregnant, it just absorbs back into the body. If you do get pregnant, it remains active until the placenta is well established and begins making progesterone on its own. This is around 10 to 12 weeks pregnant. The cyst will simply go away when your body no longer needs it. Tylenol is fine if you are feeling some pain. Good luck!

Question: 4 weeks pregnant. Corpus luteum cyst? I ovulated on November 20th, and found out I was pregnant yesterday. Dr's test confirmed this. Anyways, from about 2dpo till now which would be 14dpo (I have had a sore right ovary, the ovary I ovulated out of) and the doctor told me I have a corpus luteum cyst. Did anyone have this in early pregnancy? I've had one before while NOT pregnant, but it ruptured. This one isn't nearly as sore as the one that I had when I wasn't pregnant, so hopefully that is good. It was really sore from about 2 - 8 dpo and now it's barely noticeable unless pushing on my lower right abdomen. Did anyone else have this and felt it during your luteal phase or 2ww? How long should I expect this to last? Did it affect any of your pregnancies? I had a miscarriage before so naturally I'm nervous

Answer: I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I experienced the same thing that you are going through now when I was around 6 to 8 weeks pregnant. At my first doctor's visit (at 8 weeks) I told them that my right ovary had been cramping quite a bit and felt like I was ovulating all the time. While doing the dating scan they checked out my ovary and told me I had a corpus luteum cyst and that it would most likely go away by itself. Around 12 weeks it started cramping again and it really scared me so I called my doctor. They checked it out and said that the discomfort was from the cyst dissolving. From everything my doctor told me, it is quite common for women to have these sort of cysts. They aid in the development of the fetus until the placenta kicks in around 12 weeks. Then they go away by themselves most of the time. In some, small cases the cysts do not go away and have to be surgically removed with little to no risks involved. But, like I said before, I'm 32 weeks and mine went away around 12 weeks on its own. I'm sure yours will do the same. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Question: reproductive system? Hey!! All of the following statements referring to the uterine cycle are true EXCEPT: a. FSH and LH directly promote development of the uterine endometrium. b. A decrease in the levels of ovarian hormones signals menstruation. c. The corpus luteum is formed from the ruptured follicle after ovulation. d. Estrogen is secreted by the developing follicle in the follicular phase of the cycle. Would it be A?? Thanks a bunch!!

Answer: Answer is A. FSH is responsible for the maturation of the primary follicle to secondary follicle, while LH promotes the development of the corpus luteum, which provides the estrogen and progesterone for the endometrium.

Question: Which of the following interactions is an example of a negative-feedback control system...? . Which of the following interactions is an example of a negative-feedback control system in the human female reproductive cycle? a. the stimulation of follicles to mature in response to the production of FSH and LH by the anterior pituitary b. the effect of estrogen produced by a follicle on the LH and FSH produced by the anterior pituitary c. the transformation of the cells of the ruptured follicle into the corpus luteum d. the high level of estrogen that causes the anterior pituitary to release a surge of LH

Answer: d is an example of positive feedback so that is out b seems more likely an increase in estrogen will decrease LH secretion since their is more estrogen in the bloodstream which might in turn have an effect on FSH
