Avatar n tn In Nov 2008, I had a swelling below my right breast which was diagnosed as "Abscess". It would ooze out puss with blood and was very painful. After healing,a scar developed around that spot and A FOUL SMELL THAT OF PUS actually emanates from that area(i.e when you touch the area surrounding the scar) What could be happening inside?
Avatar f tn Hi, I have a small hole on each side of my ear and the one on my right ear is the active one that secretes white stuff that smell pretty bad. 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.
Avatar f tn Anal abscess is an infected cavity filled with pus found near the anus or rectum. Pus drains out if the skin over the abscess breaks. An abscess usually results from an acute infection of a small gland just inside the anus. An anal fistula, on the other hand, usually results from a previous abscess.It is a small tunnel connecting the anal gland from which the abscess arose to the skin outside the anus.

Avatar n tn This blockage is what causes the smell. Think of it like a tooth abscess or sebaceous cyst, but, this problem can be around the eyes, ears or throat/neck. This can interfere with your energy levels, your brain function, and in general, the way your body “feels.” It is an infection and I found that dealing with it in a way similar to a tooth abscess is what worked, for me.
Avatar f tn About 3 months ago i noticed a bad smell down below i went to my doctor who gave me antibiotics, it cleared up but came back 3 weeks later and again i took more antibiotics which made me very ill. i have been sore and feel swollen down below and i noticed a fairly big sized lump inside my vagina on the right hand side. its like half the size of a golf ball, any ideas?

Avatar f tn My dentist took an x-ray of my mouth and found no sign of a tooth abscess, even though when she drilled the infected tooth (which had a filling), there was a foul smell, indicating an abscessed tooth. There is also a swelling below my left jaw, and it is difficult to swallow and open my mouth. The dentist didn't explain much regarding why the x-Ray didn't reflect the tooth abscess.
Avatar n tn I believe it may be a smell in between my gums maybe or even a tooth but none of my teeth are hurting me its just a smell that just recently started happening. I need to know how to get rid of this horrible taste in my mouth . Is there anything I can do to get rid of this smell? I believe its my gums but i dont kno.
558991 tn?1226060828 My cat, a 4 year old neutered tiger cat, has a vile smell coming from her. It first happened when she went outside after it rained. She came back inside, wet, and immediately began to lick her behind under my bed. She was biting and gnawing at her butt for about 4 hours, not letting anyone come near her. Now, if anyone goes behind her, or scratches the area around her tail or lower back, she begins to growl and swat at them.
Avatar f tn On 2-9 I had sex for the first time in a month. The next night in the shower I felt a very tiny bump left side above the hood. Noticed but not overly concerned at that moment. By day 5 it had grown to size of pea and been that way since. It hurts when I wipe that area and I have a weird smell. panties bother it too so I'm grateful when work is over so I can get home and let her breathe.
Avatar m tn Hello, A dental examination is important for detecting the cause of your symptoms. It is possible that there could be an abscess or retention of debris under the bridge. A loose crown can lead to lodgement of bacteria under it and cause bad odour.Other causes of bad breath from mouth are tooth decay, sinus disease or gum diseases or reflux disease. Tonsilloliths can also cause bad breath, sore throat, white debris, difficulty in swallowing and tonsillar swelling .These are only possibilities.
Avatar n tn From the antibiotics? Or the actual abscess.. I read somewhere that it is possible for the abscess to still linger until all the dead cells are removed so the taste/smell can linger. Any ideas? I am not in horrible pain so I don't believe it is a dry socket. I can't really describe the taste other than unpleasent. Also, brownish small globs were coming out of the area the night after my extraction.
Avatar m tn hi i have a problem , for the last three years a small yellowish object having bad smell coming from my mouth during coughing in regular interval.some times i had fever and throat pain after its occurance. what is this object, am i have any disease?
Avatar f tn My 13 year.old beagle was attacked by a dog on the beach while we were out of the country last June 2012. Long story short, the wound (on her neck) wasn't.properly cleaned and being that we were in a third world country, vets weren't incredibly helpful. An abscess formed about a week after,was drained by the vet only to reform a couple weeks later.
Avatar f tn Abscess of dental origin is probably not related to blood in semen.Seeing medical profession is advised.
Avatar n tn hi my husband had toothache went to the dentist and they said he had an abcess and gave him antibiotics (weeks course) , before he even took his first tablet he said he was probing the abcess (which he knows he should not have done) when he blew his nose there was pus and he says it is the most foul smell he has ever smelt he says that the taste makes him want to be sick , he took all his antibiotics (finished the course) it was ok for 2 days but its back , he had a dental appointment thursda
Avatar n tn If one of these glands become blocked, an abscess—an infected cavity—may form. An anal abscess is usually treated by surgical drainage, although some drain spontaneously. About 50% of these abscesses may develop into a fistula, in which a small tunnel connects the infected gland inside the anus to an opening on the skin around the anus.

Avatar f tn Tongue irritation could be due to local or systemic causes. Local causes like tooth infections, tooth abscess or periodontal disease. Some medications like dilantin and calcium channel blockers like nifedipine can cause these symptoms. It can also occur due to salivary gland disorders like Sjogren's syndrome, where there is inadequate secretion of saliva and tongue irritation.
Avatar f tn ve not felt very ill but have had headaches since the pain started and my sense of smell seems off and I have blood in my nose. Any ideas? I have a doctor appointment in a few days but am wondering if it seems urgent enough to go sooner.
1842266 tn?1318860459 There can be a large amount of symptoms that can indicate problems with your teeth. There could be pain, swelling, fever, bad taste or smell, pus drainage, bleeding, etc. An abscess can spread to various parts of the body, from the head region down to the neck to the chest cavity. Its hard to really simplify your question because anything could potentially be a symptoms of your teeth's infection.
1670196 tn?1306841245 I had surgery (hysterectomy) on 4/26 and had to be re-admitted on 5/5. They said I had an abscess and put in a drainage tube (OUCH) on 5/7 then took it out on 5/9 because #1 it wasn't draining anything and #2 (more importantly) they said I didn't actually have an abscess. I have a hematoma that was draining vaginally (on it's own, like it was when I was admitted). On 5/5 it measured approximately 7.5 x 6.5 x 10.5 mm.
Avatar n tn Get you cat to a vet. The bad smell is rotting flesh. No one on here can help you I'm sorry. A vet needs to treat your cat now. Tonight if possible tomorrow at the latest. I'm not trying to scare you but this is bad and needs to be treated before it gets worse and it will get worse.
Avatar f tn If the strength of the site is compromised a wound can be pulled apart even much later. I once had an abdominal incision abscess and it nearly turned into gangrene. I'd call the doc at least, and if the drainage is not clear but like pus and/or has a bad odor, I would treat it with urgency.
