Patient's question:
I previously carefully checked and found mild vulvar itching, but recently I've been feeling a persistent itching and heat in the vulvar area, and there's always a slightly stinging sensation when urinating. It's still a bit swollen now. The doctor said this is a Bartholin's gland cyst. Can I have sex with a Bartholin's gland cyst?Doctor's answer:
If you have a Bartholin's gland cyst, theoretically, you can have sexual activity. However, the concern is that during sexual activity, there may be significant friction on the labia minora, which could cause severe pain. In other words, you may not experience significant pleasure during sexual activity. Therefore, if you have a Bartholin's gland cyst, it is best to have it surgically removed as soon as possible.
