Common Questions and Answers about Abscess formation scrotum

abscess

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Once there I was brought into surgery right away to remove a hematoma of the left hemi-scrotum. I remained in hospital for about 5 days untill the scrotum was properly drained. For the next year or so, the left testicle seemed fixed in the scrotum not allowing the testicle to move freely as before. There also was a small hole in the scrotum that never healed. While at an appointment with the urologist for another issue I mentioned the problem with the left testicle.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn i have a swollen bump between scrotum and anus showed up about 5 days ago. it seem to get large over the last 5 days. this last day it's become some what painfull and gotten larger. it is now 1 1/2 inches long almost from the scrotum to the anus. it seem between 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide. it's Friday and I cannot get to the doctor till monday at the earlist. part of the problem with getting to the doctor is I am unemployed and uninsured.

Avatar m tn more of a curiosity then a concern but as long as i can remember ive always had a scar or so i thought running the length the shaft of my penis, recently ive been wondering what it was after doing some research on the internet i discovered this might be my raphe line, how ever if it is it has a very unusual shape. firstly i am uncircumcised, when i peel back my fore skin there is a thread of skin that runs from my maetus and seems to flow into my raphe line(?
Avatar n tn ) been shaped lump in my testicle sack about an inch from the start of the scrotum in the back (an inch from the taint). there is no pain unless i squeeze it (i thought it might be a pimple) and then the pain goes away almost emediately upon releas of pressure. i must admit after three weeks i am getting conserned. i have no insurance so cannot get it checked by a eurologist emediately. could you please tell me what this might be and could i have testicular cancer.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn If you feel them then u need to check ur teeth for abscess formation, periodontal pockets or wisdom tooth infection.
Avatar m tn He might need further tests also like an ultrasound of the scrotum to rule out the possibility of a hematoma (clot formation) within the scrotum. The possibility of any damage to the testicle also needs to be looked into and can be ruled out with the help of the ultrasound. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Avatar m tn Some possibilities for this growth include swollen lymph nodes, infection, or abscess. Are there any growths on your penis or scrotum? The main concern is cancer, but only by seeing a urologist and having a biopsy of the growth can help determine this.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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!
Avatar m tn For about a week now, my entire groin area has become red and irritated. It itches and burns constantly. The red area extends from the space between my scrotum and rectum up to the creases between my legs and groin. It has not reached on to my scrotum or penis. Some areas have become a pale nasty color. The inner walls of my thighs have become swollen, making it very difficult to walk without pain. Also the entire area sweats a nasty slime that stinks and leaves my underwear wet.
Avatar m tn Hi, I had a right inguinal incarcerated hernia repaired in 2006. Currently I have noticed that my testicle is higher in the scrotum than what it used to be. At times I still experience pain at the hernia site. They used mesh to repair the hernia. This mesh feels like a hard service, much harder than the left side in which I had an orchiectomy in 2000. Just recently in 2009 I came down with an abscess on top of the hernia scar.
Avatar f tn The common causes could be bacterial like tuberculosis,pyogenic pneumonias, viral, fungal infections. Few other possibilities are abscess formation, necrotizing granulomas, or eosinophilia etc.It is important to discuss these test results with your pulmonologist since he knows your medical history best. Only after a detailed clinical evaluation the cause can be determined. Hope it really helps. Do keep us posted. Take care and regards!
Avatar f tn Hi, As I read from your post, the lump is not on the penis, but, in between the scrotum and the penis. What is its size? It is mostly a calcification of the tissue and since you have not mentioned any inconvenience from it, I would consider it as harmless. However, you need to get a confirmation from a doctor and do not shy away from it.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Dont know if its the same, but my son had between anus and scrotum under the skin. It didnt hurt him too much and got pretty big. It was an abscess, which had to be surgically drained. Maybe yours is too?
Avatar m tn Surgery is done when there is Mastoid osteitis, Intracranial extension, Abscess formation, Co-existing cholesteatoma and Limited improvement after IV antibiotics. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar f tn 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.
