luteal
Corpus luteum related
Luteal relates to the corpus luteum, a temporary structure in the ovary that forms after an egg is released.
The luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle, when this structure produces hormones to prepare the uterus for potential pregnancy.
A luteal cyst develops when the corpus luteum fills with fluid.
