Introduction
Corpus luteum rupture is a relatively common gynecological acute abdomen condition, often caused by factors such as strenuous exercise or abdominal trauma. Some individuals may experience only mild symptoms, in which case defecation is usually still possible. However, if the patient's condition is severe, with intense and unbearable abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and rectal tenesmus, defecation may become difficult or impossible.
In general, patients with mild symptoms of corpus luteum rupture may still be able to defecate, while those with severe symptoms may have difficulty passing stool. The specific details are as follows:
1. Able to defecate
Corpus luteum rupture is a relatively common gynecological acute abdominal condition, often caused by factors such as strenuous exercise or abdominal trauma. Some individuals may experience only mild symptoms, such as slight lower abdominal pain on one side, without other discomforts. In such cases, bowel movements are usually still possible.
2. Unable to defecate
If the patient's symptoms are severe, presenting with intense, unbearable abdominal pain along with nausea, vomiting, and a sensation of rectal fullness (tenesmus), they may experience a feeling of urgency to defecate but be unable to do so.
Patients with corpus luteum rupture should seek timely medical treatment at a hospital. Under a doctor's guidance, treatments may include medications such as tranexamic acid injection, vitamin K1 injection, or etamsylate injection. Laparoscopic surgery may also be an option.
