Hello Pavan Ji,

Pilonidal Sinus is a small hole or tunnel in the skin, usually at the top of the buttocks, where hair and debris can accumulate. It can lead to infection, pain, and sometimes swelling.

Symptoms:

  • Pain and swelling near the tailbone
  • Redness and pus discharge (in case of infection)
  • Fever (if the infection is severe)

Treatment Options:

  1. Non-Surgical: In early stages, antibiotics and keeping the area clean can help prevent infection.
  2. Surgical Options:
    • Incision and Drainage: Drains the infection and relieves pain.
    • Surgical Excision: Removes the sinus tract to prevent recurrence.
    • Flap Surgery: Recommended for recurrent cases, where the wound is closed using nearby tissue.

Home Care Tips:

  • Maintain hygiene by regularly cleaning the area.
  • Avoid sitting for long periods.
  • Wear loose clothing to reduce irritation.
  • Laser hair removal may be recommended to prevent recurrence.

If you're experiencing pain or recurrent infections, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional. Feel free to contact us at HexaHealth for a detailed treatment plan and personalized assistance. We’re here to help you every step of the way!
