Q: Painful Intercourse and Bartholin's Cyst
asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 1st, 2008
i had a history of bartholin's cyst a year ago, it seems that it came back again in the same location as before. but back then the pain was only from the outside usually when sitting or walking. but now there is no pain outside but the pain im feeling is on the inside, im having painful sexual intercourse which is unbearable that im asking him to stop. the feeling is as if he is bumping into something inflammed inside.

i wonder if it is possible that it is still the bartholin's cyst that has grown inside that he is bumping into. i have also heard of cervix that is being hit that causes pain. is it possible that i can have infection with him bumping into my cervix?

we did try anal sex, and after that, i had this pain during vaginal sex. does it have do with it? we are not having sex lately because of the pain.

we are out of the country that's why i cant see my gynecologist for medications, what do i need to do? can i take any medication? will amoxicillin work?

thanks a lot!

You might be experiencing a recurrence of a Bartholin's Cyst if the treatment you received was drainage of the cyst and not removal. However, it doesn't seem likely that the pain you experience during intercourse would be related to Bartholin's Cysts since you describe the pain being inside your vagina (and possibly at the cervix), as these cysts are located outside of the vagina on the labia. You may be experiencing an infection of the cervix, or possibly a tumor, which would also cause sex to be painful. A thorough pelvic exam by your Gynecologist should diagnose this problem.
