My treatment providers do not believe that I got cysts from having unwanted sex. I am certain that this is where I got my cysts from. How come they are so close minded?

((jm)) you're the only one who would know if you've had unwanted sex and therefore if the cysts have come from this. Please don't overly worry yourself about what your treatment providers are saying then ... I'm sorry that you're going through this and that I don't know more about the situation but it's an honest response and I hope it helps.

Having cysts has nothing to do with having wanted or unwanted sex. Do a Google search. You can find a lot of information on the subject matter.

Both my ex and I had cysts BEFORE we met. It is a common skin condition usually caused by shaving causing micro cuts. Trying to pop the cyst will create tunnels under the skin creating more cysts which is why it may get worse if you pick at them.
Cures: warm damp compress, sitz bath with Epsom salt. Antibiotic/hydrocortisone cream.

I know I got a cyst from unwanted sex. Maybe, it is not very well known.

It was a cyst of a gland on my vagina. I think you are thinking about something else.

um sorry to have to disagree here but yes a cyst of the bartholins gland can happen from sex. the Bartholins gland produces fluid to make a woman ready for sex. people who have frequent sex can end up with blocked glands due to hygiene problems or a yeast infection or other sexually transmitted diseases.

think of it this way how does a person get an infection... because of a virus, bacteria and close contact of another person, any opening on a persons body is a free for all for bacteria, and viruses. the bartholins gland has openings called ducts. those ducts normally do get dust, dirt, bacteria in them, the production of the fluid and bathing washes the ducts out. but sometimes when a person has sex they cant just go from sex to bathing right away. so the ducts get clogged and cysts can form.

bartholin glands cysts either pop on their own with frequent bathing (sitz bath) or they clear up on their own with antibiotics.

Joshua's mommy you can find out for sure if you have a cyst by going through a physical exam. if your treatment providers say you dont have one then use your reality testing and take your medications, sometimes schizophrenia well tell a person they have a problem when there isnt one, but the meds will help.

and if you still feel you have a cyst then you can treat it on your own by taking long relaxing baths. that will clear it up in just a few days.
