Pilonidal sinus aap ko rab rehne ke karan, aap ka operation kiya gaya he. Aap ko yeh samajh na hoga ki abhi koi infection ke karan aap ko aise nikal rha he. Sab se behtar ho ga ki aap paas mein koi surgeon se consult karlenge to wahi shi rahega.

Did your surgeon tell you that it is a pilonidal sinus?
If it is, then that is the course of the treatment. Initial course of antibiotics, then after the infection subsides, we have to do imaging studies with a mri to understand the course of the sinus and if there is an underlying abscess.
Once this is understood, we can plan for sinus excision with z plasty surgery to minimise future recurrence.

Pilonidal Sinus refers to the small channel in your skin. When the channel is filled with pus or fluid, it leads to the formation of cysts or an abscess. A pilonidal cyst usually occurs at the top of the buttock crease near the tailbone and consists of dirt, debris, and hair. When the cyst becomes infected or inflamed, it causes severe pain and discomfort.

Pilonidal cysts are small swellings that usually develop on top of the cleft of the buttocks. It is a kind of acquired lesion. Sometimes body hairs in folds of skin grow inwards. The presence of a foreign body prods your immune system and that is why an inflammatory reaction follows. Pilonidal cysts may also occur on the webbed region of the hands, axillae and the genitalia.

It's called a pilonidal cyst, and it can become infected and filled with pus. Once infected, the technical term is “pilonidal abscess,” and it can be painful. It looks like a large pimple at the bottom of your tailbone. If your cyst becomes a problem, your doctor can drain it or take it out through surgery. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.

But surgery is not the right choice for the reason of recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery (in approx. 25% cases pilonidal sinus recurs after surgery). However pilonbidal sinus can be completely treated by graded ksharsutra treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during treatment. For further supp...more
