Hello
Recently I have had two surgeries to remove an abscess in my groin/left thigh. The First operation occurred two weeks before the second. I'm now 8 days post second op and the wound is healing well and I thought all was going to be ok but the nurse who comes daily to pack and redress my wound is very concerned about the large approx 8cm long hard lump that surrounds the wound. She applied pressure and squeezed it alot yesterday and now the whole region is painful again.
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.
I don't know what kind of health care they have in Uganda,but if she is in this much pain this should have already been evaluated and treated with antibiotics and possibly drained.
It's been a while since I've had a dental check up. I would say around 8 months now. I've used a mouth wash on it and it seems to have smoothen out a bit but its still there and looks white. I will go and have a dental check up as soon as I return home next week. What exactly is an abscess? is it somehting to worry about? One more question could this abscess have anything to do with my jaw feeling a bit week on the same side?
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.
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. This can be done on superficial abscesses that can be reached by a needle and syringe.
For those abscesses inaccessible by a needle, surgical drainage is done.
I had a really bad time last night, and almost had went to the ER due to the pain in my stomach. It's kind of like a cramping pain that comes and goes. As a last resort, I took a half dose of Peptol-Bismol (I'm on a one tablet pre day PPI) and surprisingly felt better in 5 minutes. So, I'm pretty sure the pain is in my stomach and not my bowels.
All this is becoming really frustrating - des anyone have any ideas refering to the first post?

It is ver painful at time. Similar to a abscess I once had on my leg.. I do have type 2 dibetes. Can you tell me what this is and what should I do about it?
I have a recurring abscess on my right breast for almost 2 years now. I remember that I have a "white head/black head" on my chest so I picked it and removed it and I think it's where it all started. The abscess I got on the first spot on my breast lasted for 9 months (I had maybe 4 recurrence) but it healed on its own without taking any antibiotics or creams.
my husband has alot of fluid in his hand and it is hurting and making him feel bad. there is a red mark in the middle of his hand but he doesn't remember getting stung by anything. what could it be, and what do you suggest we do. anything to make it feel better?
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.
Pain in the upper left abdomen and chest area can be due to stomach issues (GERD or hiatal hernia), spleen issues, due to an abscess below the left diaphragm, a hematoma (localized collection of blood), an abscess, or a muscle pull (as it happened while playing). Ultrasound would have ruled out spleen problems and an abscess below the left diaphragm. A CT scan would be more diagnostic.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
I saw my doctor today who thinks it's some sort of tissue formed together or maybe the start of a abscess she told me to see my dentist before I see her next week.
