Hi, Is it safe to go swimming in a swimming pool and at the beach after having my bartholin cyst drained and it is not fully healed?

It's not advisable if it's not fully healed.

Generally, after your stitches have been removed or have dissolved and your wound has fully healed, you should be able to swim in the sea or a swimming pool. You should also avoid swimming if you're wearing a plaster cast or you have an external fixation device, until your surgeon advises that it's safe to do so.
