A corpus luteum cyst is a type of ovarian cyst that forms during the menstrual cycle. Dr. Arunima Haldar, one of the best gynecologists in Kolkata, provides expert guidance on understanding, diagnosing, and treating corpus luteum cysts.
After ovulation, the follicle that released the egg typically forms a structure called the corpus luteum, which produces hormones essential for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum usually dissolves. However, if it fills with fluid or blood, it can form a cyst.
Most corpus luteum cysts are benign and asymptomatic, resolving on their own within a few weeks. However, in some cases, they can cause symptoms such as pelvic pain, bloating, or irregular periods. Dr. Haldar emphasizes the importance of monitoring these cysts, especially if they cause discomfort or grow in size.
Diagnosis is usually done through a pelvic examination and ultrasound to assess the cyst’s size and characteristics. Treatment may not be necessary for small, symptom-free cysts. However, if the cyst is large or causing pain, Dr. Haldar may recommend hormonal therapy or, in rare cases, surgical intervention to remove the cyst.
With her extensive experience, Dr. Haldar provides personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the most appropriate treatment based on their individual needs.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of a corpus luteum cyst or have concerns about your ovarian health, consult Dr. Arunima Haldar for expert evaluation and treatment.
