5. Doctor Treatments
One of the solutions a doctor may offer is a minor drainage surgery that takes no longer than twenty minutes to perform and is minimally invasive.
If you visit the doctor for chalazion drainage, you may be given a numbing injection to the affected area.2G;, Gilchrist H; Lee. ‘Management of Chalazia in General Practice.’ Australian Family Physician, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19458801/. After the numbing agent takes effect, the doctor makes a small incision in the chalazion and drains the fluid inside. After removing all excess fluid, the procedure is complete. Stitches are usually not necessary, although daily eye cleansing may be recommended.
