Usually, no treatment is used if the pyogenic granuloma occurs during pregnancy, since the lesion may heal spontaneously. Recurrent bleeding in either oral or nasal lesions may necessitate excision and cauterization sooner, however. If aesthetics are a concern, then treatment may be prioritized.
Causes (listed in order of decreasing frequency) include: endometritis, urinary tract infection, pneumonia/atelectasis, wound infection, and septic pelvic thrombophlebitis. Septic risk factors for each condition are listed in order of the postpartum day (PPD) on which the condition generally occurs.
Antibiotic therapy is curative in most cases (depending on underlying cause), with fairly rapid alleviation of symptoms after only 2 to 3 days. Women with chronic endometritis are also at a higher risk of pregnancy loss and treatment for this improves future pregnancy outcomes. [17] [18]

In the treatment of umbilical granulomas, silver nitrate is applied to the umbilical site to burn off the excess tissue. [18] The absence of nerve endings within the granuloma make this a painless treatment for the newborn. [19] While painless, contact of silver nitrate to the adjacent, healthy, normal tissue may result in burns. [19]
An abscess is a localized collection of pus (purulent inflammatory tissue) caused by suppuration buried in a tissue, an organ, or a confined space, lined by the pyogenic membrane. [28] Ultrasound imaging can help in a diagnosis. [29]
