Ignipuncture
Ignipuncture is a medical procedure that involves the use of heat to puncture or perforate a part of the body. This technique is often used in the treatment of various health conditions, such as cysts, abscesses, and tumors.
Procedure[edit | edit source]
The procedure of ignipuncture involves the use of a heated instrument to puncture a specific part of the body. The heat helps to sterilize the area and reduce the risk of infection. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Applications[edit | edit source]
Ignipuncture is often used in the treatment of cysts and abscesses. It can also be used to treat certain types of tumors. The heat from the procedure helps to destroy the abnormal tissue, while the puncture allows for the drainage of any fluid or material inside the cyst, abscess, or tumor.

Like any medical procedure, ignipuncture carries some risks and potential complications. These may include infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding tissues. It is important for patients to discuss these risks with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
