Varicose Veins is a severe medical condition whereby the veins (mostly legs) become swollen, tortuous and dilated, i.e. the veins become varicosed. The Venous blood flows in an upward direction from the feet to the heart. There are special valves present in the veins that assist the upward flow of the blood. Fatigue, prolonged standing, menopause and a number of other factors can weaken the valves. This affects the movement of the blood flow. As a result, some of it leaks and flows back down. Th...more

Pilonidal Sinus is the small channel in the skin near the tailbone that may sometimes be filled with pus or fluid. This accumulated pus leads to the formation of abscess or cyst. Pilonidal cysts occur near the coccyx or tailbone, right at the top of the buttock crease.
Pilonidal sinus consists of dirt, hair and debris that penetrates your skin, becomes embedded and thereby causes infection. Once the cyst gets infected, you may see blood or pus oozing out of the channel, which causes sev...more

Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency both affect the veins of the legs. The veins in the legs are equipped with one-way valves, which direct the flow of blood from the legs to the heart. If these valves malfunction, the blood may flow backwards. This blood may collect in small pools somewhere in the veins or the veins may become enlarged and swollen. This causes immense pain that makes it difficult to go about your everyday activities.

Your uterus is held in place by ligaments, tissues and pelvic muscles. The prolapse occurs when the ligaments or muscles weaken, and thus they can no longer support the uterus. The uterus slips or sags from its usual position into the birth canal (vagina).
Uterine prolapse could be complete or incomplete:
If the uterus partly sags into the vagina, the prolapse is incomplete.
If the uterus falls, and tissues are found to be resting in the vagina's exterior, the prolapse is t...more

The skin has a protein called keratin that protects it from infections and other harmful toxins. For various reasons, mostly unknown but likely genetic, there could be a buildup of this keratin leading to small, light-colored, hard bumps under the skin that can feel like sandpaper. This condition is medically known as keratosis pilaris. These pillars of keratin block the hair follicles that open onto the surface of the skin, and when a number of follicles are blocked, it leads to dry, bumpy fe...more

Pilonidal sinus or cyst develops in the intergluteal cleft (the cleft between your buttocks). The cyst contains dirt, hair, and debris, and looks like a giant pimple located right above the tailbone. A pilonidal cyst, just like any other cyst, may become infected and be filled with pus. When this happens, the condition becomes extremely painful and discomforting.
Pilonidal sinus is more common in men than in women. Usually, people who sit for hours on a desk job, or while driving a vehi...more
