Does incision and drainage hurt?

Generally speaking, for larger and more serious abscesses in the patient's body, a minimally invasive surgery such as incision and drainage is required to promote the recovery of the patient's abscess. For example, if a woman finds a boil on her vulva, she needs to undergo incision and drainage to prevent the boil from developing into a serious condition and causing more serious vulvar problems. At this time, many people are worried about how painful it will be to incise and drain the abscess.

Is it painful to drain a vulvar furuncle?

First: It will hurt. Use incision, debridement and drainage to completely remove the necrotic tissue inside after the incision. After the operation, you should pay attention to wound disinfection, use sterile gauze to bandage, pay attention to timely dressing changes, and intravenous antibiotics can be injected to prevent infection.

Second: No anesthesia is required when changing the dressing. Just change the dressing directly. Generally, the dressing is changed every day, and it is impossible for the gauze to grow together with the flesh. When changing the dressing, careful disinfection must be carried out to remove necrotic tissue and foreign matter. The drainage packing will move a little outward every day to allow the wound to heal from the inside.

Third: Skin furuncle, which is caused by bacterial infection of hair follicles, generally requires incision and drainage. After incision and drainage, the wound cannot be sutured, and drainage gauze must be placed for drainage to promote the discharge of pus. Generally, the pain after surgery will gradually ease, mainly because the infection is well controlled.

Precautions

Furuncles can form due to many reasons. When you find yourself with a boil, you need to treat it appropriately to prevent the boil from spreading and becoming infected. Patients need to pay more attention to their hygiene.
