Just under a year ago I discovered I had cysts on my ovaries I wasn’t shocked cuz my mum and sister has pcos but a month r so after discovering this I started to experience pain during sex (tmi) it is only in certain positions so I have found away to work around it the past few months but recently it has started being painful all the time to the point where I do not want to be intimate with my boyfriend or that I have to act like it’s not hurting when we are. The whole point of this is yes I know see a doctor etc but I would need to go to my mum about it first but I just can’t bring myself to tell her does anyone have any tips?

Be honest with your boyfriend and refrain from sex. Find a dr where you don’t need your parent. Or wait till you are comfortable enough to talk to your mom about it. Maybe just tell your mom you’re having pain from the cysts. Not pain during sex. Then go and explain it to your dr privately.

Thanks but even then what can the doctor do cuz I don’t think there is many solutions lol

Well the doctor can do whatever they think is best. If you’re not satisfied with what they say or how they helped you. Then I’d suggest getting a second opinion. But pain during sex is not normal. And you should get that checked. Especially if this is new and something that hasn’t always happened to you before. I’m not too informed or cysts or they’re treated. But you should be enjoying intimacy with your bf 😭 like what if it’s something else causing you pain during sex? You never know till you go get checked. Maybe speak to your sis about it if you’re comfortable enough opening up to her. She may have similar experiences with the cysts or pain during sex?

Yes that’s a good idea thank you and yes I’m not 100% sure if it is the cyst but it is only one side so I’m assuming it has grown maybe but yes I think I will have to speak properly with my doctor, although my doctor is not great with these things I already complained about having awful period and they they didn’t do anything 🫣

Then I’d definitely suggest going to a different doctor. And explain that to your mother as well if she has to go with you. That you didn’t feel like the first dr really listened to your concerns. You should feel heard and seen and taken care of by your health care providers! It’s so important to feel comfortable with them. I promise it’s life changing when you find a good one!
