Can I Go Swimming With A Cyst In Vaginal Area?

so I felt something hurting in my vaginal area, I felt around and I have this small bump. I looked at it in the mirror and looked it up online I think I have a bartholin cyst. It s painful. I had bought tickets a week ago to a water park that I have to use tomorrow. Can I go swimming? I ve been taking ibprohen 800mg for the pain and discomfort.

If its simply a Bartholin cyst, may go for swimming. But if it has grown into an abscess causing pus and pain, it has got bacterial infection. In this case swimming should be avoided. It may effect pool waters.
