Is it safe to have sex if you have a dermoid ovarian cyst? I have a dermoid cyst that I am going to soon have removed. Fortunately, it is benign. I was wondering if it would be okay to still have sex as long as i am not in pain… or would having sex cause this cyst to rupture or have other complications? i have googled this quite a lot and I can’t seem to find an answer.

The surgeon probably left it there because of the size of the cyst, and possibly the type of cyst.
I had a large cyst that was to be removed laparscopically, and when he went in to do it, he discovered that it was a dermoid cyst. Dermoid cysts are filled with things like hair-gross.
I had to do a laparotomy, because they did not want to run the risk of it rupturing during laparscopic surgery.
I was glad for their caution, because as it turned out, the large cyst I had was a mucinous cyst with borderline malignancy. Had they done the laparscopic, all those pre-cancerous cells would have been flying through my body.
As for whether it likely indicates cancer, that can’t really be answered until they send it to pathology. Cancer is a weird disease, and different for every person. One person may have a tiny cyst that looks to be a normal, functional cyst. If removed, it may be cancer. Another person may have a giant cyst that is nothing at all, but a huge pain. Pathology will biopsy the tissue and determine if there was something there.
And, your other question about the reproductive system, you have two ovaries, and as long as you have one working ovary, you can still get pregnant.

I was diagnosed with somewhat large cysts on both ovaries this summer. One cyst is complex (which means it could be an endometrioma or a dermoid cyst) and the other looks like a large fluid or blood filled cyst but they don’t know for sure.
The doctors are recommending surgery but I don’t want to try surgery as of yet. I am currently on birth control pills to help with cysts and I also am going to try some natural therapies from a licensed Naturopath. I have a question for you guys.
Should I continue taking the birth control pills along with the herbal and Chinese medicines or should I stop the birth control pills and just take the natural remedies? I began the pill in late August and if actually feels as if one of my cyst has grown larger since then. I also have some breast tenderness. A lot of people say that birth control pills are “toxic” and if I’m going to do natural medicine, then I should just do that. What do you all think? Any advice would be much appreciated.
I don’t have any children.
