Dr. Bhavya GuptaExpertHello 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:
- Non-Surgical: In early stages, antibiotics and keeping the area clean can help prevent infection.
- 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.
