A member asked:

How long do i have to wait to have sex again after bartholin's cyst ruptures?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healed and not sore!: This may take a few days to as long as a week or so. Sex prior to healing may be both uncomfortable and delay healing, so waiting may be best early on, or you could be waiting again if problems occur!
