Corpus luteum cyst rupture of the ovary

　　The ovary is a female sex gland, an organ that produces eggs and sex hormones, located behind the broad ligament on both sides of the uterus, forming a pair of ellipsoids. The size and shape vary with age. The ovary is generally solid, but it can have many changes such as non-neoplastic cysts, hyperplastic or tumor-like lesions, and various tumors. Due to the influence of the autonomic nervous system, changes in ovarian function or over-activation of the ovarian enzyme system can lead to coagulation disorders and bleeding tendency. Ovarian rupture can occur spontaneously or due to external force or iatrogenic injury, and there are physiological and pathological ruptures.
