In most cases, removal of pilonidal sinus or cysts does not require overnight hospitalisation, although in cases of larger cysts removal under general anaesthesia, staying at the hospital for a couple of days is needed.
In case of increasing pain and swelling of the cyst, one must seek
help from a doctor as it can further lead to infection at the site and other
complications.
At times it does encourage the progression of the condition as an
increase in weight can cause the buttocks to increase in size. This
causes the cleft separating the buttocks to deepen, which traps more
moisture and waste thereby encouraging anaerobic bacteria to grow and
worsen the condition.
Laser treatment is a minimally invasive surgical option. However,
certain people may not be suitable for it. Kindly visit a doctor or specialist
for further details.
In most cases, about 4-6 weeks may be required for complete wound healing at the site of treatment. In cases when open surgery is performed a long time around 12 weeks may be required depending on the patient.
Yes, to avoid complications such as pain and swelling, you must take a doctor’s help.
Yes, at times it can encourage the condition to progress even more.
A proctologist, dermatologist or a general surgeon experienced in pilonidal sinus surgery are ideal doctors for the treatment.
