I had an endoscopy two weeks ago, as a result of the disaster in helath care I endured. Back in December I ended up being severely ill with an abscess in my colon. The doctor in the ER was insistent that it would 'clear itself up' with oral antibiotics. I went home and took them. And ended up hospitalized for several days, as the abscess was worse and I was told they removed about 80mL of infection from my colon.
He injected it with cortisone right about the same time my stomach began burning…probably releasing the abscess toxins in to my blood stream. The abscess was there long before my encounter.
I have seen SO MANY doctors and you two are the only ones that seem to have the capacity to paint a clear picture. In lieu of the Chron’s disease and its autoimmune nature, my General practitioner wants me to continue HIV tests beyond 6 months to a year.

I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.
Hi angel114,
Typically if a abscess forms you take antibiotics,and if it's bad enough they have to also be drained,you can't really "cut out" an abscess,at least not without taking healthy tissue with it.
Your grandmother should receive a pelvic exam to determine the cause and extent of the abscess to determine the correct treatment,a small sample may also be taken to rule out cancer beings she is post menopausal.
An abscess is basically a build up of pus and infection in the jaw bone area. I assume that since you've seen a dentist recently, it probably would've been spotted at your last checkup as they generally develop from large cavities. There are abscess that also develop from gum disease as well but assuming you had a cleaning and check up, thats also a little more unlikely. Best to get it checked out and taken care of.
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.
painful lumps in the anus/rectum, pain and swelling in the anus or buttocks area, painful bowel movements, fever/ or night sweats, and abdominal pain.
Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection.
Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid.
If there is tenderness on pressing the neck from outside, then this could be due to spinal nerve compression, inflamed sternocleidomastoid muscle as in TMJ (this would respond to physiotherapy, pain killers and cold compress), swollen lymph nodes if you can feel a mass, an abscess if you can feel a mass, a clot in the carotid artery or due to a muscle pull.
Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!
It was lodged in my throat for about 30 seconds before going down. It was about the size of two cheerios but it also had a slightly sharp part. I don't feel any actual pain but I do feel discomfort, especially in the area directly below my chest. Do I HAVE to get it checked out or can I just let nature run its course?
The feeling of something in the throat is often found in people with acid reflux problems. It's a sensation called globus. It will respond to acid suppression meds, but it takes a lot of time to disappear.
If he's vomited blood, you need to request that the doc do an upper endoscopy and take a look at the status of his esophagus, stomach and duodenum.
Either your husband has been bitten by something or you have developed an abscess. If it is an abscess it will need to be drained. Take an anti-inflammatory analgesic like ibuprofen and an anti allergic and see if that helps. If it is an insect bite, it will improve. However if the insect’s sting is left inside, then also it will not heal unless the sting is removed.
Keep the hand raised on a pillow kept beside him when he is lying—basically avoid the hand hanging down.
From what you are describing I would think it may be a Bartholin's cyst or abscess. The Bartholin glands are in the lower portion of the vagina and while the cyst isn't supposed to be painful, the abscess is and I would imagine if the cyst were big enough it would hurt. You may want to see your gyn about this. Also you can google Bartholin's cyst and you will get a lot of information.
Over the past couple days I developed an extremely painful abscess. In an attempt to clean my mouth using coconut oil the abscess burst. I believe I didn't swallow any of the liquid leaking out and throughly rinsed my mouth with salt water and then some hydrogen peroxide. I will be receiving insurance in about 2 weeks from my new job so I am hoping I can hold off going to the dentist till then.
My wife was sent to the hospital about 5 months ago with what appeared to be a abcess in her lower colon. Ever since then she has been suffering from increasing pain in her upper right abdomen (especially sever at night). She also suffers from chills, nausea (recently leading to vomiting), and acid reflux (at night) into her esophagus. She is also Type I Diabetic and suffers from CIDP.
After that, she rode on top of me genital to genital (I think it is called frottage) for ~ 5 minutes, it was very aggressive and the head/tip of my penis came in contact w/ her vagina and likely had secretions on it. I immediately regretted it, but that is beside the point.
After a week I went to my PCP and get tested for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia (both negative).
So at the 4 week mark I was feeling sick, low grade fever, and slight difficulty swallowing.
