For the passed six years i have suffered with a cyst on the inside wall the vagina which fills with fluid during intercourse it swells to the size of a golf ball, which leaves me with dull ache. My question is, has anybody had one these in the passed and had it removed. Im waiting for a appointment from the gyne just wondering what questions should i ask any information would very greatful.

Hi there,
From what I understand, the most common thing they try first, is draining the cyst. If that doesn't work, then they will remove it. Depending on the size/depth, they will do this via a local anaesthetic, or if bad enough they might do it with a general anaesthetic. The procedure itself wouldn't take long, but you would have to avoid sex until given the all clear.
I have had the exact same problem.
I found the name of the cyst that I had, it was a Bartholin Cyst.
