I found out I have a small clear cyst on my cervix measuring 9.66 cm and they called it a nabothian cyst. Is this something that needs surgery or can it be left alone? I'm a bit worried about the size since it seems large

Nabothian cysts are benign—even 9.6 mm size rarely needs surgery unless symptomatic or infected.

I'm 24 and just had sex for the first time with my boyfriend recently. Initially, I had a lot of pain and couldn't do it, but eventually, we managed. What really surprised me though was that I didn't bleed at all. It's been on my mind since I'm not involved in sports or any activities like biking or running. How could this happen?

It's completely normal for some women not to experience bleeding during their first sexual encounter. The presence or absence of bleeding can vary based on the flexibility and elasticity of the hymen, as well as individual anatomy. It's important to remember that every experience is unique, and no one way is "correct." If you have any concerns, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for reassurance.
