abscess

Avatar f tn Mine was cause by chrons and were from the small intestine to the bladder and large intestine. Everything went great. Where is the fistula from and to?
Avatar f tn Turns out I had colitis, just a bad case of it. I was finally diagnosed simply by taking out the large intestine and seeing if my small intestine still had any of the disease. The more information you can gather about what they think you have the better. The more information you can collect about yourself and what is going on with you, the better. Good luck!
Avatar n tn an infection has entered that tooth and caused an abscess. the pressure from the abscess has pushed the infection down into soft tissue and most likely infected the saliva glands (thus the swollen cheek) ibuprofen will help pain and some inflamation but the infection MUST be treated with antibiotics or it could spread to your neck, throat, or bloodstream and become life threatening. antibiotics are the only thing that will help these infections.

Avatar f tn If medicines do not work, a type of surgery called bowel resection may be needed to remove a damaged or diseased part of the intestine or to drain an abscess but removing the diseased portion of the intestine does not cure the condition.

Avatar n tn After almost dying, she had her entire small intestine removed. Up till now, she has survived with TPN only and cannot tolerate whole foods. She wears a bag to her stoma removing the bile and found out on Friday three days ago, that her gall bladder must be removed laproscopically. Until then, she was waiting to hear from the insurance if she would be able to move forward for a 'live' small transplant or a cadaver's.
Avatar m tn I am pregnant and had to have emergency surgery had a hole in my small intestine. Had 2 ft of it removed. I am now home and my incision was not healing just coming apart.. So went back to the surgeon and he cut me open again.. And said they were going to have Home Health come by the next day to my home and put a vacuum pack on me.. Well they called me that evening and said Home Health would not do it to a pregnant woman.. My incision is not closed and my baby is due on the 24 of December..
Avatar n tn Well, 3 years later I have the same discomfort, same place, leading me to the conclusion the stricture was in my small intestine. Question, is there any other option than surgery, as I can't go through that invasive sugery again? Diet is very healthy, take probiotics, anything to build the intestinal walls. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/406499'>Small intestine stricture,possible hernias?</a>.

Avatar n tn chronic involvement of appendix (many a times ultrasound misses this as the appendix in such cases is hidden behind loops of intestine and typical symptoms of appendicitis are absent), involvement of kidney and inflammation of your intestine. Lower right abdomen pain is commonly due to appendicitis. The pain, can at times come and go and not give the classic picture.
Avatar n tn I am extremely concerned that this is a rare variant of primary small intestine lymphoma. The thickening of the jejunum and the malabsorption particularly worry me. Does lymphoma seem possible to you, or likely? Can there be idiopathic reasons for malabsorption, or perhaps even stress?
Avatar f tn ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.
Avatar f tn I've had a pain in my upper right abdomen right under my rib cage for about a month and nobody can tell me what's wrong. I originally went to the ER because the pain was so intense I could hardly function. I had a CT scan done at the ER where they determined that my appendix was enlarged but no infection was found on any blood work. They gave me the option to stay the night to be observed or go home and come back if the pain got worse.
Avatar n tn I noticed a small pimple like thing on my upper gums last week, it has poped twice but filled back up again like a pimple you would get on your face, it was painfull the first couple of days but is no longer painful.
1521268 tn?1291123879 The other possibilities are a cyst (usually grows big or small depending on the fluid in it), a neurofibroma (localized harmless swelling in a nerve), lipoma (localized collection of fat), a swollen lymph node, an abscess, or folliculitis (hair follicle infection). An abscess can be hot or warm if it is infective due to bacteria and it can be cold without heat if it is a tubercular abscess.
Avatar f tn Patches of inflammation could be due to numerous problems, an infection or ibd, etc.. . Wait until you get the results of the biopsies. the pathology report should be able to determine if you have an IBD...Crohn's or Ulcerative colitis. If there are "some patches", this is more indicative of Crohn's rather than UC, as Crohn's "skips" through the bowels, whereas UC is throughout the whole lower colon. Ask where the partches are - the small bowel or colon.
Avatar f tn I have a lump on the right side of my abdomen. It's just below my ribs. When I lay on my left side I can feel it and move it. It will move all the way over to my bellybutton. I don't have any pain, but when my fiance pushes on it just right it makes me jump. It's a wierd feeling but it doesn't necessarily hurt, it's hard to describe. Is this something I should be worried about?
Avatar m tn 3 days ago I competed in a bicycle race (not sure if this is connected to my situation) and a few hours after the event I noticed a small lump on my buttocks quite close to my anus. It was soar to the touch but otherwise no bother. The next morning when I woke up it doubled in sized. By the afternoon it grew to about 2 inches in length and 1 inch wide. It is firm to the touch and seems to be located a little bit under my skin but not so deep that I can not feel it well.
Avatar n tn When was the last time you saw a dentist? It may be a fistula (parulis) which is a small opening from an abscess. Its like end of a garden hose and the pus is draining out of it. It would be best to see a dentist to get it evaluated.
1361959 tn?1277683717 The degree of involvement of the large and small intestine may vary from person to person. A biopsy is the most confirmatory. An elevated ESR does confirm inflammation in the body. Low protein, minerals and iron in blood are the other findings in Crohn’s which may or may not be present. A recent advancement in Crohn’s diagnosis is video capsule endoscopy. If all these are ruled out then the pain could be due to adhesions. Hope this helps.
785798 tn?1237898297 It supposedly removes the plaque which builds up over the years on your small intestines and stops your intestines from absorbing the nutrients from your food. Has anybody tried this product? Is it good? Is there something else out there that is better?
Avatar f tn So after 5 years of no answers for all my abdominal pain, bloating, and severe acid reflux and GERD - my new gastroenterologist diagnosed me with bacterial overgrowth of my small intestine. I've already taken 2 rounds of antibiotics. The first time I took them about a month ago, and it relieved ALL my symptoms very quickly, but they all came back 2 weeks after.
Avatar n tn m 41yrs old, in reasonable fitness and health but have been diagnosed with a ruptured appendix and have had a drain/antibiotic therapy to clear up the infection and abscess. The appendix will be taken out in 4 weeks' time. What range of physical activity should I carry out in the interval? Would there be a risk of causing damage by lifting, bending, moderate gym exercise etc ? Thanks..
Avatar n tn I started to feel pain down there the past 3 days when I urinate, and any time. I noticed today, there is a very small bump. Smaller than a pea. What could this be? A cyst? Cancer? Should I see my doctor? Do I need to be concerned? Will it go away? Is it serious? Thanks in advance.
