Most often, an abscess occurs after a hot tumor; when the tumor begins to collect pus, it turns into an abscess. When the tumor begins to accumulate pus, first the fever, pain and other symptoms intensify, then “goose bumps” appear in various places and it becomes difficult to even lie down, let alone sleep on your side. When the tumor has collected pus, it becomes softer when pressed and all symptoms subside, and when it breaks through, a tremendous chill appears and the tumor secretes ichor, pus and something like wine grounds. At the same time, lightness is felt and the perceived heaviness disappears. The opening of the abscess occurs either in the area of the intestines, and the pus comes out in feces, or towards the kidneys, and then it comes out in the urine, or into the space located in the abdominal cavity, and then the patient feels relief and the tumor falls off, although the pus comes out with feces or urine is not visible. The abscess sometimes lies deep in the meat of the liver, and sometimes it is closer to the outside and lies shallow. The pus in these cases is different: with a deep-lying abscess it is black, and with a shallow one it is whitish.
