Antibiotics don't penetrate well into a collection of pus. Once pus has formed, it needs draining; antibiotics are added if infection is spreading. #### Will it hurt? The area is numbed first, or a short anaesthetic is given. Most people feel much better straight afterwards because the pressure is released. #### Why is the wound left open? Leaving it open with a light pack lets the remaining pus drain and the wound heal from the bottom up, which stops the abscess reforming. #### Why do I keep getting abscesses? Repeated abscesses can point to diabetes, a fistula (if near the anus), a cyst or a skin condition. The cause will be looked for. #### What about an abscess near the anus? It needs drainage promptly, and afterwards the doctor checks for a fistula. #### Can I keep breastfeeding with a breast abscess? Usually, yes, and it can help. You'll be guided on how to feed during treatment. #### Can dressings be done at home? Sometimes, after the first few clinic visits. You'll be shown how. #### What is the cost of abscess drainage in Vijayawada? The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover abscess drainage.
