A member asked:
I have a functional ovarian cyst, no surgery. is it safe to continue havin sex or not?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
If small, yes: A small ovarian follicular cyst(documented by ultrasound) allows intercourse without much discomfort. A larger ovarian cyst of 6 or more centimeters can rupture or twist and intercourse would not be advisable until gone.
