Ovarian corpus luteum rupture is a disease in which the small blood vessels on the surface of the patient\’s ovary are destroyed during the development of the corpus luteum, resulting in internal bleeding and increased internal pressure in the corpus luteum. From the perspective of etiology, clinical manifestations and diagnosis, ovarian corpus luteum rupture is very serious. Once you suffer from this disease, you must seek medical treatment in time to prevent the condition from worsening and threatening the patient\’s life.
Ovarian corpus luteum rupture is a disease that mostly occurs in women between the ages of 20 and 40, because the ovarian function of women in this age group is relatively strong. When suffering from this disease, patients will have symptoms such as sudden abdominal pain. Let us take a closer look at it. Is ovarian corpus luteum rupture serious?
1. What is the corpus luteum?
Young women with normal menstrual cycles will release an egg every month. After the egg is released, the remaining follicles are surrounded by the outer membrane of the follicles of connective tissue, which together form the corpus luteum.
2. Why does the corpus luteum rupture?
①Automatic rupture
②External force
③Caused by sex
3. How to judge whether the corpus luteum is ruptured?
① Sudden onset of abdominal pain occurs in the middle and late stages of the menstrual cycle, with varying degrees of pain. In severe cases, it is accompanied by symptoms of hemorrhagic shock such as dizziness, palpitation, and fatigue. No history of menopause.
②Physical examination shows lower abdominal tenderness with (or without) rebound tenderness, tenderness in the appendage area on the affected side, and positive results for cervical movement pain and swinging pain in those with more pelvic bleeding.
③ Ultrasound examination showed corpus luteum on the lateral ovary, accompanied by pelvic effusion. Routine blood tests showed a decrease in hemoglobin. Blood HCG normal range.
4. What should I do if the corpus luteum is ruptured?
If the bleeding is a little excessive and causes the corpus luteum to rupture, most of the time the bleeding can be stopped on its own.
If there is a lot of bleeding, conservative treatment is not expected to be safe, and immediate surgical treatment is needed.
Major bleeding if the corpus luteum ruptures is still very dangerous. If the corpus luteum ruptures and causes massive bleeding and the patient is not treated in time, he may suffer from shock or even death. But in generalHe said that as long as you seek medical treatment promptly after experiencing severe abdominal pain, rupture of the corpus luteum will not cause serious consequences in most cases.
