What is luteal rupture? How can it cause corpus luteum rupture? What are the symptoms of corpus luteum rupture? Will it cause harm to the human body? Let's provide detailed answers to the above questions for everyone.
Luteal rupture is one of the common gynecological acute abdominal diseases, which is more common in young women aged 14-30. Therefore, some people call it the "youth killer". In fact, the harm of corpus luteum rupture to humans varies from person to person, and clinical symptoms and manifestations also differ greatly.
Some may only experience sudden but mild pain in one side of the lower abdomen. The ruptured capillaries in the corpus luteum heal on their own, and the small amount of blood flowing out is absorbed without leaving any sequelae.
Some may experience severe and unbearable abdominal pain due to secondary rupture of blood vessels in the corpus luteum, causing blood to flow into the abdominal cavity and resulting in persistent abdominal pain. In severe cases, hemorrhagic shock may occur, manifested as sweating profusely, dizziness, headache, decreased blood pressure, cold limbs, etc. If left untreated, it can be life-threatening.
Automatic rupture
Under normal circumstances, there is a small amount of bleeding inside the corpus luteum, but if there is too much bleeding, it may increase the pressure inside the corpus luteum, leading to spontaneous rupture. Some people believe that during the luteal phase of blood vessels, dysfunction can lead to capillary bleeding within the corpus luteum, resulting in corpus luteum rupture.
The result of external force
If the lower abdomen is impacted, as well as when jumping, running, coughing or defecating vigorously, the sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure can cause the mature corpus luteum to rupture. In addition, during sexual activity, the female reproductive organs expand and become congested, leading to an increase in tension within the corpus luteum. Coupled with the rough movements of the male partner, the female's lower abdomen is strongly impacted, which can also cause the corpus luteum to rupture.
In short, women of childbearing age who experience severe lower abdominal pain within about a week after the middle of their menstrual cycle should consider the possibility of corpus luteum rupture and promptly seek consultation and appropriate treatment from a gynecologist.
