Luteal Phase Defect & Ovarian Teratoma – Antai Hospital

Teratoma and Corpus Luteum Insufficiency

Teratoma is a type of tumour that may contain fully developed tissue or organs such as bone, teeth, hair etc. It is commonly found in the ovaries, and is of benign nature, but still requires surgical removal.

Some ovarian teratoma that form originate from the abnormal development of one of 2 embryos (twins). While one embryo is able to grow and develop normally, the other slowly develops abnormally (contributing factors such as chromosomal abnormality or lack of nutrients) into a tumour, and this may cause a potential pregnancy loss if left undetected.

If left untreated, it will lead to a early miscarriage, fetal demise and recurrent immunological miscarriage. Antai Hospital is the only private hospital that offers contractual recurrent miscarriage treatment with a full refund policy.  

How does Teratoma cause recurrent miscarriages?

Teratoma that grow in the ovaries, known as ovarian teratoma can affect:

• The quality and maturation of the egg cells in the ovaries
• The development of the corpus luteum (leading to Corpus Luteum Insufficiency)

As we all know, Progesterone is a crucial hormone that is needed to sustain a healthy and full-term pregnancy. Corpus luteum insufficiency means the corpus luteum does not produce the required levels of Progesterone.

This can cause:

• The endometrium to not thicken and vascularize, making it very difficult for implantation to take place.
• Affects the growth and development of the embryo in your early pregnancy.

And these factors above can potentially lead to:

• Early miscarriage
• Fetal Demise
• Recurrent miscarriage*

*Corpus Luteum Insufficiency is a primary cause for a complex (multi-factor) recurrent miscarriage.

Symptoms

• A history of recurrent miscarriages
• Pain in the pelvic areas
• Constipation
• Leg weakness

Diagnosis

• B-scan to check for presence of teratoma.
• Hormonal test to check for Progesterone and HCG (if pregnant) levels
• Test for the presence of anti-embryonic antibodies
