What will the doctors do to my stye will they put me to sleep because i have a low pain tollerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local anesthesia : If you are going to have incision and drainage of the stye (surgical treatment) your doctor will typically give you a local numbing injection while you are awake. After the numbing injection you will not feel anything. If you are concerned about the injection you can ask your doctor if he can do the procedure with general anesthesia.
