My operations serbaceous cyst experience

Today 15th of september I went into Hospital which was very last minute , This was the first time for me going into hospital and having a Operations. The reason I had to go to into hospital to have serbacious cyst the have become abcessed which had to be drained and remove. I was really anxiety.

the operation went fine and I was left with a tiny scar which I had to be packed with tape for a while and it was painfully for the first few days as I had to have it everyday then it was every other day and then ever third day and then the lovely nurse discharge me. it has now heeled but has got a small head on it which we will keep eye on but it not noticeable at all.


It was done under general anaesthetic but I was allowed to go home the same night which was good as I was very anxiety about staying there over night as I hadn't stay away from mum and dad because of my learning problems.

lucky I was eating , drinking and wee with in five minutes , One side effect I do remember is being quite cold for a few days.


BEFORE OPERATION

AFTER THE OPERATION

Then every day for a week I had to get the wound packed with tape . Im going to be generally Honest I hated Having this done it was so sore and painfully specially the first few week . eventually it wasn't as painful it was more discomfortable.

It was Hard to like wash my hair as I could get the wound wet.

the reason there had to do the packing is help to resorb anything that might be left in the wound and to stop infections also the reason they had to pack the wound was if they had left it it would of just heeled and have massive hole underneath and it would more chance of it coming back , it had to heel from the inside out.

for a while I did find it difficult to sleep special on the side of the wound but what made it slight more comfortable was having more than two pillows which was different for me as before I only slept with one pillow.

It has complete heeled now there is a small head appeared but it hasn't got any bigger or smaller some time it does ache and sting a bit but all seem well.
