A member asked:

Can you burst an ovarian cyst while having sex?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes: That probably happens more often that most people would think. The ovaries are located near the top of the vagina and ovarian cysts are very common. It may not take very much pressure to rupture some ovarian cysts - it is unlikely that a women or her partner would know that it has happened.
