Last monday i began to feel a bit sore on the right side of my vagina. I checked it out and discovered that i was quite swollen. On Tuesday the 4th i began to feel much more uncomportable and sore. Wednes day I went to my doc and found out i had -and still do have- a bartholin cyst. I began taking anti- biotics because it was infected. the next day is when the excruciating pain began. This pain proceeded throughout the weekend. I could not walk, sit, or even sleep well since it did not permit the ability to move much, especially if i had been positioned a specific way for a period of time. Sunday I began to feel less pain. Monday, even less. It is now Thursday the 13th and it is starting to itch. I feel no pain. the doctor told me the infection is probably gone. Could this be true? There is absolutely no pain anymore, but the cyst is a little smaller than a jaw breaker, if not that size. Although, it has reduced tremendously in size. My next appointment is on monday. My anti-biotics are finished already. I am also wondering why is has not bursted yet? From what i have read it seems like it should have bursted by now, since it is now thursday. My main question is if it is safe for me to have sex now, given that there ia no pain and the infection is probably cleared?

I wouldn't have sex just yet.give your body time to heal.You don't want to irritate that area again and cause another infection.When you see the doc may be they can pop it .You may still have to be on antibiotics a little longer.

I just noticed this was an old post, but if you are asking for yourself Guest, it would be a major anitbiotic, as this type of infection can easily lead to a blood infection - that is what happened to me. I think the original poster should have had hers lanced/drained. And she should NEVER have sex while the gland is still plugged. That is why it became plugged in the 1st place, too much moisture!!!!! The Bartholin Gland is a special gland and from time to time can get plugged, when it does it can be the size of a pimple to a grown mans hand! And THATS when it is infected and EXCRUCIATING!!!! When I read her post, I still can feel it!!!! o.O It's not talked about very much but I truly think it should be discussed more, becasue a lot of women don't realize just how serious it can get!!!
