A member asked:

Can sexual intercourse do harm to my cyst on my ovary? can it rupture? what're things i can and cannot do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on cyst size: If the ovarian cyst is very large then intercourse can rupture the cyst with deep penetration. If the cyst is small, intercourse usually has no affect other than pain when struck during intercourse.
