Question 1

hi just wonderingif u could tell me what a haemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst and a hydrosalpinx is?

Accepted Answer

One normal,one not: Corpus luteum is a 100% normal finding after ovulation - hemorrhagic means there's some bleeding or clot involved, usually not a problem. Hydrosalpinx means fluid collection in  tube: this is always abnormal, but can range from trivial to very significant.

Question 2

how do i know if i had a follicular cyst or a corpus luteum cyst.?

Accepted Answer

Unnecessary to know: They are two phases of the same thing. An ovarian follicle should rupture releasing an egg. If this doesn't happen, the follicle keeps enlarging turning into a cyst. The ruptured follicle is called the corpus luteum. If the escape opening seals off, fluid can accumulate causing a corpus luteum cyst. An ultrasound may determine which you have but it isn't important to know; they act the same.

Question 3

could a corpus luteum cyst take nutrients away from the developing fetus?

Accepted Answer

No : A  corpus luteum cyst provides the hormonal support that an early pregnancy needs to survive. It does not steal nutrition from the baby. It is not a living organism. It is a cyst.

Question 4

i have a degenerating corpus luteum cyst on ovary is this ok like not a bad one to have im 44 and have had a hysterectomy just leaving my ovarys?

Accepted Answer

It's normal: A degenerating corpus luteum is always okay if you are still cycling; it simply means you ovulated some time before. You will continue to have CL with each cycle until menopause.

Question 5

what is a the difference between a corpus luteum cyst and other cyst?  i have a corpus luteum cyst that is 2.2cm and worried. doc says wait and see!

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: are you still menstrating?  If so your corpus lutem cyst is most likely normal and is what is left when the cycst that grew the egg for that cycleon your ovary ruptures when you ovulate.  It secretes estrogen/progesterone in preparation for possible fertilization.  If no fert occurs, the cysts goes away.  If you are not still menstrating cyst needs to be followed in ultrasound. Hope this helps.

Question 6

if the corpus luteum cyst was broken how long till the pains is gone?

Accepted Answer

Three months, more.: A corpus luteum is formed after ovulation, when the egg is released to be fertilized.  It secretes estroigen and progesterone.  If conception does not occur, it involutes and goes away.  But it can gret filled with fluid or blood and become a cyst, which can take 3 mos to go away.  It can grow and cause pain and have complications, like rupture, which causes sharp pain and need emergent treatment.

Question 7

i was told at scan i have a corpus luteum cyst and its the area where i ovulated that has not resolved yet what do they mean by not resolved yet?

Accepted Answer

Corpus luteal cyst: The corpus luteal cyst is an ovarian cyst that comes when you ovulate, and the egg pops through. The cyst can persist for a bit after the egg is released. No worries . :)

Question 8

is a corpus luteum cyst the same as other types of cyst? also do they usually resolve themselves.i have a 2.2cm cl, and have gone to dr. he said wait.

Accepted Answer

Agree: Corpus luteum cysts occur monthly unless you become pregnant or are on hormonal contraception.  They usually resolve on their own.

Question 9

hi jenny here just need some advice on a haemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst. is it a pregetcey that hasnt developed and a hydrosalpinx both i've had 4mths?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Corpus luteum cysts can happen with a pregnancy or not. Its the area where you ovulated that has not resolved yet.

Question 10

can simple corpus luteum cyst ( not the persistent one) cause to delay ovulation for 4 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, maybe, no: There's some confusion in the language here, i'll give my best answer: any persistent cyst (not just corpus luteum) can delay the next ovulation/period. A "simple" cl, if you mean one that behaves normally, will never delay your period/ovulation unless you got pregnant in that cycle. Does that help?
