What does corpus luteum mean?

We all know that for women, there are luteal phase, ovulation phase, safe period, and physiological period. If women want to conceive quickly, they should choose to have sex with their husbands during the ovulation period, which can increase the probability of fertilization of the fertilized egg. If you have sex with your husband in the safe zone, the probability of ejaculation is relatively low. So what does the female corpus luteum mean? Let me introduce it to you.

This period refers to the period from ovulation to the day before menstruation. The ovaries are affected by luteinizing hormone and secrete progesterone to maintain the thickened endometrium to facilitate the implantation of the fertilized egg. If the fertilized egg does not implant, the endometrium will collapse and the menstrual cycle ends with the onset of menstruation.

The 15th to 28th day of the menstrual cycle generally lasts 14 days. During this time, the follicles in the ovaries mature, ovulate and gradually form a corpus luteum, which is called. (In the secretory phase) This phase starts from the day of ovulation and lasts for 13 to 14 days until the arrival of menstruation. This period is equivalent to the luteal phase after the ovarian follicle releases the egg. Under the synergistic action of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium further proliferates, blood vessels grow, and glands begin to secrete glycogen-containing mucus. At the end of this period, the growth of the endometrium reaches its peak, preparing the conditions for the implantation and continued development of the fertilized egg.

What does corpus luteum mean?

An endocrine gland in the ovary of humans and mammals formed by many yellow granular cells. A corpus luteum appears after each ovulation of the ovary. After pregnancy, the corpus luteum develops and grows larger. The hormones it secretes have the effects of thickening the uterine mucosa, inhibiting uterine contractions, and promoting breast secretion. If you are preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended that you pay attention to changes in the corpus luteum, because changes in the corpus luteum will affect successful conception.

What causes corpus luteum abnormalities?

Unhealthy corpus luteum: the corpus luteum degenerates prematurely and the luteal phase is shortened to ≤10 days. Infertility and early miscarriage, endometrial pathology such as irregular maturation or incomplete secretion is the cause of luteal dysfunction. 2. Incomplete luteal atrophy: also known as prolonged luteal function, that is, the corpus luteum cannot completely degenerate within 3 to 5 days, or the degeneration time is prolonged, or it continues to secrete a certain amount of progesterone during the menstrual period, resulting in irregular shedding of the endometrium, prolonged menstruation, and continuous spotting.

In fact, you should keep a calm mind during the pregnancy preparation period, and don’t have too much psychological pressure and feel that you can’t do anything. This will make expectant mothers less and less active. It is recommended to increase some exercise appropriately, but not too intense. More exercise can also help with delivery after ten months of pregnancy.
