A drain for an ovarian abscess is a procedure where a doctor places a small tube into an infected fluid collection on or in the ovary to remove the infection. This procedure might be recommended when an ovary has developed a pocket of infected fluid that needs to be treated and cannot be managed with antibiotics alone. During the procedure, you can expect the doctor to use imaging guidance to locate the abscess and insert a drainage catheter, which may be left in place temporarily to allow the infection to drain.
