Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Heip, my husband was diagnosed with a peritoneal cyst about two years ago, he was rushed into emergency surgery to have it opened to drain. It has recurred at least six more times (lost count) of which 4 required surgery. He has been seen by a surgeon, who quarterized (sp) the last site (between his scrotum and rectum) who suggested he see an gastroenterologist who did a colonoscopy and a cat scan, but found nothing. He in turn recommended he see a dermatologist! All the while this thing is leaking blood/pus and will build up only to open up when he least expects it. We are beside ourselves. Who would you recommend we see to make a diagnosis and solve his problem.
It could be a wound infection or abscess. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. Thorough wound debridement is required. All the pus debris has to be removed and antibiotics might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
