What is the corpus luteum cyst?

Post-ovulation: A follicle forms in the ovary from which an ovum is discharged in mid-cycle. A cyst often forms at the site during the second half or the period or if the woman becomes pregnant.

Usually asymptomatic: After a folicle releases an egg it begins to secrete estrogen & Progesterone & is called a corpus luteum. However, it can sometimes become a cyst filled with fluid or blood on/in the ovary. This is a corpus luteum cyst.
