Corpus luteum cysts will often rupture and resolve on their own. If not, the diagnosis and treatment route is the same as above, the blood is aspirated during laparoscopy, and the ovary biopsied. Sometimes, though, the ovary may be too large or the bleeding too severe. At this point, some doctors may opt to remove the ovary, but this is premature. The bleeding is caused by a stubborn blood vessel that can be tied off, which will stop the bleeding, allowing the cyst to be aspirated and the ovary to remain intact.
Dermoid tumors are more common in young women but can occur throughout the reproductive years.
What happens here is that the egg begins developing without being fertilized. So these growths develop hair, teeth, cartilage, and fat. Even surgeons are shocked by their appearance. The symptoms and diagnosis process for these tumors are the same as above, and an ultrasound test or even an X ray can pinpoint dermoid tumors. Many surgeons will do laparoscopic surgery to remove the tumor and leave the ovary intact.
