What to expect after abscess drainage?

Answered on 23rd May '24

After your doctor has performed the incision and drainage procedure, you can expect a pus drainage for a day or two. At the very least, a follow-up appointment will be needed for a change of dressing. Doctors will also prescribe antibiotics as well as pain relieving medications.

I have been packing my sons pilonidal cyst wound for 11 days, twice a day. We have gotten to the point where the cyst opening is so small I can barely put gauze in there. Currently there is no drainage, redness, or smell is this normal? I understand that it needs to heal from the inside out, but is it normal to have it so difficult to pack?

Male | 23

Consult your doctor for specific advice on your son's pilonidal cyst wound. Reduced drainage, redness, and smell may indicate healing, still monitoring is required. Difficulty in packing as the wound shrinks is normal. If you have any concerns or or see signs of infection consult your doctor quickly. Follow their instructions for proper care.

Female | 18

A specialist examination is necessary for any lump in the breast to be evaluated. Whilst most breast lumps are typically benign, it is imperative to rule out any cancerous tissues to make sure there are no health issues involved.

I want to weight gain my weight is 40 in age 18

Female | 18

To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than you burn. Increase your calorie intake by eating nutrient-dense foods, such as nuts, seeds, and lean proteins. Incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass, and aim to get adequate sleep and manage stress levels.

I have a fistula how can I get rid of it She came back to me now a year later She tormented me for six years

Male | 45

Fistula surgeries are carried out by a proctologist or any physician in colorectal surgery. To start, you should call a specialist and visit for a diagnosis of your type of fistula. Missed therapy will lead to bacterial infections that can cause abscess and sepsis and all these could be fatal for the patient.

Female | 35

In case you are experiencing HIV symptoms seek medical assistance as early as possible. It is also important to note that a negative test does not necessarily mean you do not have HIV. You may need to wait at least 3 months after exposure to get the most accurate test result. Consult with a specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
