abscess formation in the liver

This may be brought about by a break in the skin/areola, producing a superimposed infection and thus abscess formation. If there is an abscess, incision and drainage must be done and the specimen is sent to the pathologist for evaluation. Good luck.

More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.

Hi, my husband had a major stroke and shortly after we discovered he had a fistula. The Dr said he is not strong enough for surgery yet and as long as he keeps draining,and is not in to much pain we can wait. My problem is he is unable to talk so he cann't tell me the pain. He has reciently stopped draining as much but he has become constipated and when he strains to go there is quite alot of blood in the camode. Is this normal? What happens if he dosen't have the surgery?

Abscesses can also affect the brain, kidneys, liver (hepatic abscess), lungs, teeth (dental abscess), and tonsils (peritonsillar abscess).

In general, abscesses must open and drain to improve.

So I watched a video on youtube about preauricular sinus infection and I learned that it could lead to the formation of abscess. When I was young, I didn't know what the hole was and I often got very irritated with it when it had secretions. I played with it so much that one day I realized a second hole was formed near the "crus of helix" of my right ear couple cm below the first one and that it also extends deep into my ear like the first hole above.

Bleeding from the breast can be because of infection, abscess formation or cancer. Microscopic examination of the discharge to look for blood cells and any abnormal cells and mammography will help make the diagnosis. Consult your Doctor. Hope this helps.

If I sit for long, I get lower back pain, which is not unusual given my condition, but the doctor had told me that I'll be feeling 'fit' by this time...

Hello, After a tooth extraction the gauze should be kept firmly in place, by biting down on the pad or using finger pressure, for about half an hour to an hour. If you doubt that this gauze has not come out and is placed inside you may need to see your dentist. This gauze piece can act as a focus of infection and lead to abscess formation. Treatment can be decided only after a dental examination. I hope it helps. Best wishes and regards!

I think it is pelvic inflammatory disease which is causing pain in the lower abdomen after urination and after sex. But it is difficult to say without physical examination.

This may lead to tissue necrosis and sometimes abscess formation.

Hi there! Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Based on your description it is quite possible that you are having Bartholin's cyst .This cyst is formed due to blockage of Bartholin’s gland leading to formation of a fluid-filled cyst. A Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage to the Bartholin's ducts .

All I know is that I am in pain in the exact place she stated that the cyst is located. I have been in pain at T7-T8-T-9 since 1995 and have been to numerous physicians/neurosurgeons,chiropractors, arthritis doctors, etc. and none of them seem to know how to treat me and just hand me off to another physician. I feel like I am just getting the "run around" and one doctor gets paid for my office visit, then hands me off to another doctor who gets paid for my office visit and so on.

It broke about 5 years ago and the inside and the side facing my tongue is completely gone below the gum line with a cavity.

I do not have dental insurance but I have some Keflex last and have been taking it along with Motrin for the pain.
