What does LUTEAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the corpus luteum, the temporary hormone-producing structure that forms in the ovary after an egg is released.
The corpus luteum forms each month from the ruptured follicle that released an egg, and luteal describes anything connected with this structure or its hormones. The luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle, when progesterone from the corpus luteum prepares the womb lining for a possible pregnancy. Doctors and researchers use the word mainly in reproductive medicine, rarely in everyday speech. If no pregnancy begins, the corpus luteum breaks down and the luteal phase ends with a new cycle.
