Is Psoas abscess dangerous?
My grandfather is 74 years old
Have diabetes (currently 140)
Hyper tension (which always stays under normal limits)
No heart problem what so ever.
No fever, no other problem .
He's currently admitted in hospital and in his MRI report it was stated that he's having psoas abscess.
I've attached MRI report.
He's currently having 10 points blood. Doctor is saying we'll give him additional 2 points.
He'll have to undergo surgery for removal of pus.
But my question is- Is this surgery dangerous. Is this life threatening for my grandfather? Is this surgery common in India?
Please answer my question. Your answer will give great relief to me and my family. Thankyou.
