Pelvis abscess



Pelvis abscess affect the lower abdomen and is usually the result of an infection. An abscess can be caused by a surgery site that has become infected, ulcers, and other organ pathology. If left untreated the infection would spread and possibly cause sepsis and then death could be possible. Signs of infection for this area would include constant pelvic pain, fever and possible drainage through the skin. The course of initial treatment could involve antibiotics or further surgery to drain and cleanse the wound. Once early treatment has been initiated the infection should heal with proper instructions from the doctor.
