What is a Liver Abscess? (लिवर में मवाद)

A Liver Abscess is a mass filled with pus inside the liver. It is a serious condition that can be life-threatening if ignored. In the Agra and Braj region, we commonly see two types:

  1. Amoebic Liver Abscess: Caused by parasites (Amoeba), often linked to contaminated water or food.

  2. Pyogenic Liver Abscess: Caused by bacterial infections, often seen in patients with diabetes or biliary issues.

Common Symptoms to Watch

If you or a family member in Agra, Mathura, or Firozabad are experiencing these symptoms, seek a Liver Doctor immediately:

  • High-grade fever with shivering (often in the evening).

  • Severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.

  • Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite.

  • Jaundice (Yellowing of eyes).

  • Pain radiating to the right shoulder.

How We Treat Liver Abscess in Agra

Gone are the days when big "open surgeries" were the only option. As a Laparoscopic and Laser Surgeon, I utilize minimally invasive techniques to treat liver abscesses effectively with faster recovery.

1. Medical Management (Medicines)

For very small abscesses, strong antibiotics and anti-amoebic drugs (Metronidazole) might be sufficient. However, strictly avoiding alcohol is crucial during this phase.

2. Percutaneous Drainage (Pigtail Catheterization)

This is the "Gold Standard" for medium to large abscesses.

  • The Procedure: Using ultrasound guidance, we insert a thin tube (pigtail catheter) directly into the abscess to drain the pus continuously.

  • Benefit: No major cuts, done under local anesthesia, and immediate relief from fever and pain.

3. Laparoscopic Surgery (Keyhole Surgery)

In complex cases where the abscess has ruptured or is multi-loculated (has many partitions), we perform Laparoscopic Drainage.

  • The Procedure: Through tiny keyhole incisions, we clean the liver cavity and remove the infected tissue.

  • Benefit: As a Laparoscopic Surgeon, I ensure the patient recovers quickly with minimal scarring.

Prevention Tips for Agra Residents

  • Diabetics must keep their sugar levels under strict control.
