A drainage of pelvic abscess is a procedure where a doctor removes infected fluid that has collected in the pelvic area, typically using imaging guidance to locate and access the abscess safely. This procedure may be recommended when a patient has a pocket of infection in the pelvis that needs to be treated, which could result from surgery, infection, or other medical conditions. During the procedure, you can expect the doctor to use ultrasound or CT imaging to guide a needle or catheter into the abscess to drain the fluid, and you may receive local anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable.
