Suggest Treatment For Painful Intercourse

Bartholin's cyst.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for using Healthcare Magic. From your description, this is likely to be a Bartholin's cyst you have found. This is not serious. It is a small cyst that commonly develops in this area. If it remains small and gives you no pain then it can be left alone. If you find it is painful or enlarging then it may be infected and you would need antibiotics. If it continues to cause discomfort then a minor surgical procedure can remove it. It is not directly related to sexual activity.
I would suggest you see your doctor for assessment to confirm the diagnosis and you may possibly be offered a course of antibiotics if the doctor considers it is infected.
I hope this is of help. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
