About Drainage of Pelvic Abscess by Transvaginal Approach

Drainage of a pelvic abscess by transvaginal approach is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to treat a collection of pus (abscess) in the pelvic cavity. This technique involves using ultrasound guidance to insert a needle or catheter through the vaginal wall to reach and drain the infected fluid. It is often preferred over open abdominal surgery as it is less invasive, involves smaller incisions, reduces pain, and typically leads to a faster recovery. The procedure is crucial for managing infections that can arise from conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), post-surgical complications, or ruptured appendicitis, helping to alleviate symptoms, prevent the spread of infection, and preserve fertility.

PATIENT REVIEW

Emily Das, a 32-year-old marketing manager,...

Emily Das, a 32-year-old marketing manager, had been trying to conceive for two years. After a recent laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis, she developed a persistent, deep pelvic pain and fever. An ultrasound revealed a 5cm abscess near her left ovary, a post-operative complication. Her gynaecologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that the infection was a barrier to both her health and future fertility attempts. He recommended a transvaginal drainage to avoid another abdominal surgery. Emily was terrified that this setback would further delay her dream of motherhood. The procedure, done under sedation, was quicker than she expected. The relief from the intense pressure was almost immediate. After a short course of antibiotics, the infection cleared. While emotionally drained, Emily felt a renewed sense of hope. The successful resolution meant she could resume her fertility journey, turning her fear into cautious optimism.
