abscess formation hysterectomy

Surgical clip migration can occur but typically an incidental finding rather than a complication, unless there is evidence of surrounding fat stranding, abscess formation, or perforation into adjacent organs.

Hi there, The common sites for abscess formation are groin s and armpits. Abscesses are caused by minor breaks and punctures of the skin, obstruction of sweat glands and oil glands, and inflammation of hair follicles. These abscesses contain dead cells, bacteria, and other debris, which causes inflammation and pain. The common bacteria are staphylococci but sometimes tuberculosis can also lead to abscess formation.

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.

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.

CT abdomen and pelvis 10/1/2012. TECHNIQUE: Axial images from the lung bases to the symphysis are performed with additional coronal reformatted images. 100 mL of Isovue 370 are given intravenously. Oral contrast is also given. FINDINGS: The lung bases are clear. Abdomen: There is diffuse fatty infiltration of liver. Prior cholecystectomy changes are noted. A probable tiny cyst is noted in the lateral mid spleen measuring only 2 or 3 mm in size on image 27.

Hi leelariah, If left untreated, the external opening may temporarily close with a resultant recurrent abscess formation or formation of a more complex fistula. These complex fistulas often traverse deep to the external sphincter making operative repair more hazardous. Additionally, long-standing fistulas have a low but real risk of malignant transformation. And blood in stools is definitely abnormal.

If you feel them then u need to check ur teeth for abscess formation, periodontal pockets or wisdom tooth infection.

There are no reports of cyst formation as a result of spinal steroid injection. There are reports which mention abscess formation, but it would have more symptoms than just pain. Anyways, it will be useful to rule out an abscess. Repeated needle injury and infection can lead to an abscess. An abscess is a localized collection of infected material, secretions and is usually enclosed in a closed "cyst-like" space. There are chances that the cyst may be present earlier.

Hello, Any damaged or decayed tooth or molar should be treated as soon as possible. It can act as a focus of infection, us formation and abscess formation. It is suggested to see a dentist and get examined. It may not be possible to determine the exact cause without a complete dental examination. This is merely an advice and not a substitute for clinical examination. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Good luck and take care!

I am so sorry this happened to you. I did not have an abscess but a number of other problems after having a hysterectomy (which should have never been done).

For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.

Patients with concurrent immunosupressive co-morbidities (diabetes, cancer, chronic steroid therapy) are at higher risk for these types of complications. With your husband having abscess formation, bacteremia, and now what sounds like a sternal wound infection, I would have an infectious disease specialist involved who might recommend a long-course of antibiotics. Your previous surgeon should also be involved given there could be potential surgical needs.

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.

Apply some cold compresses and take some anti inflammatory pain reliever. If the pain persists even after that then any infection or adhesion formation should be ruled out.

The fistula is linked to alot of bad things .Most anal fistulas originate in anal crypts, which become infected with abscess formation. When the abscess is opened or ruptures, a fistula is formedcauses of anal fistulas include opened perianal or ischiorectal abscesses, which drain spontaneously through these fistulous tracts. Fistulas are also found in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn disease.[3] The incidence of fissures in Crohn disease is 30-50%.

There is a condition known as hidradenitis suppurativa where the infection commonly starts around hair follicles and sweat glands, resulting in multiple lumps and abscess formation.

Hello, A rectocele occurs when the end of the large intestine (rectum) pushes against and moves the back wall of the vagina. Rectocele and enterocele formation may occur together, especially if you have had surgery to remove the uterus. So the possibility of rectocele in your case after hysterectomy cannot be ignored. So get the possibility of rectocele after hysterectomy evaluated from your surgeon. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.

I have also had abdominal pain for a week. Going on a week and 4 days now. It started in my lower right abdomen, and felt more or less like I had held my bladder for an extended period of time. The pain is very dull, but noticeable. I went on an antibiotic as my doctor assumed it was a UTI (there was a small amount of infection and blood in my urine) and the antibiotic did not help.
