Question 6

i had an ovarian cyst rupture back in oct. i still am unable to have sex like i use to sometimes it so painful we have to stop? why ?

Accepted Answer

Probably not cyst: Cysts are just a "collection of fluid" and are typically not painful.  The actual rupturing of a cyst can cause pain due to the inflammation involved but is will not last more than a couple of weeks at the most.  Pain that persists for multiple weeks or months is not related to a prior cyst.  See a doctor for evaluation.

Question 7

i had an ovarian cyst rupture yesterday and now feel dizzy. could it be excess blood loss from the rupture 24+ hrs ago? or ok to wait it out?

Accepted Answer

Monitor close: Signs of excess blood loss would be a rapid heart rate and dizziness when you stand up.  However, you can also get these symptoms if you are dehydrated.  Drink a lot of water or electrolyte fluid and see if your symptoms get better.  However, if you have worsening belly pain and swollen belly you should be seen right away.

Question 8

i had an ovarian cyst rupture (confirmed by er) & 3 hrs later had unprotected sex. can i get preg? do cysts rupture b4 or after you're done ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A cyst ruptures to release the egg.  It ruptures during ovulation.

Question 9

i had an ovarian cyst rupture on the 6th of this month. the er dr said the healing process would take up to a week. its now been two weeks and sex is extremely painful for me. it wasnt painful like this before the cyst ruptured. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Could be scarring: knowing what type of cyst is very critical to predict future symptoms.
what they told you is only true if it was clear cyst.
but if it contained blood it could cause scarring and take long time to heal like 3-4 months.
if it is endometriosis this could spread disease and will need surgery to resolve it
follow up ultrasounds is important and possible diagnostic laparoscopy is recommended if no rest

i had an ovarian cyst rupture during intercourse years ago and i couldnt stand the pain and it traumatized me and i avoided sex after that and now i have absolutely no sensation in my vagina anymore. at all. cant even feel my fingers inside it?

Accepted Answer

Ovarian cyst: 24yo female with ruptured ovarian cyst complained of no sensation in the vagina. Kindly see your gynecologist for evaluation and management. Good luck.
