Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello, im currrently on my 2nd bartholin cyst. The first one grew to the size of a golfball and was so painful I could barely walk. I got it lanced and now 2 months later its back. Its beginning to get large in size. Has anyone still been able to have sex with a large cyst? Is it painful?

    my first time i had it i definitely could not have sex and if you want to have sex, i suggest you shower immediately after and do a sitz hot shower. hold the shower head on the cyst for about 15 minutes after sex. it helps keep the area clean so infection doesnt occur
