Abscess / Cyst Drainage is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to remove infected fluid, pus, or trapped material from abscesses and cysts to relieve pain, prevent spread of infection, and promote healing. These collections can develop anywhere in the body and often worsen if left untreated. Abscess / Cyst Drainage provides rapid symptom relief, reduces pressure on surrounding tissues, and helps antibiotics work more effectively. Early intervention lowers complication risk and speeds recovery. When performed by an experienced surgeon under proper imaging guidance, Abscess / Cyst Drainage is safe, effective, and often avoids the need for major surgery.

What is Abscess / Cyst Drainage?

  • A procedure to remove pus or fluid collections
  • Used for infected abscesses or non-infected cysts
  • Can be done using:

    • Needle aspiration
    • Catheter drainage
    • Small surgical incision
  • Performed under local or general anesthesia
  • Often guided by ultrasound or CT scan

This is targeted treatment, not guesswork.

When is Abscess / Cyst Drainage Needed?

Abscess / Cyst Drainage is recommended when:

  • Painful swelling with redness or fever is present
  • Infection does not respond to antibiotics alone
  • Fluid collection is large or deep-seated
  • Risk of rupture or spread of infection exists
  • Pressure symptoms affect nearby organs

Delaying drainage can lead to sepsis or tissue damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Abscess / Cyst Drainage and our services

Small abscesses may respond initially, but most require drainage. Antibiotics cannot penetrate thick pus effectively. Drainage removes the source of infection and allows antibiotics to work better.

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so pain is minimal. Most patients experience significant relief immediately after drainage due to reduced pressure and inflammation.

Drain duration depends on abscess size and infection severity. It may remain for a few days until drainage reduces and imaging confirms resolution.
