When an abscess forms, it requires prompt and expert attention to prevent complications. At M&V San Jose Medical Center, our team is highly skilled in performing incision and drainage procedures to treat abscesses effectively. We start with a thorough examination to assess the severity of the abscess, followed by a precise incision to drain the pus and reduce inflammation. Our focus is on ensuring that the infection is fully addressed while minimizing discomfort. By choosing M&V San Jose Medical Center, you can trust that your abscess will be treated with the utmost care, using advanced techniques to promote rapid healing and prevent recurrence.
We begin by numbing the area around the abscess to ensure your comfort. Our medical professionals then make a small incision to drain the pus, followed by thorough cleaning of the area. We may apply a dressing and prescribe antibiotics if needed, with detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
The incision and drainage procedure typically takes around 30 minutes. At M&V San Jose Medical Center, we prioritize your comfort and recovery, ensuring that the process is quick and efficient. Our goal is to provide immediate relief and support your healing journey with attentive follow-up care.
