    In Our Doctor's Words

    What-Dr. Pankaj Sareen-Say-About-Pilonidal Sinus-Treatment

    Dr. Pankaj Sareen

    MBBS, MS - General Surgery

    20 Years Experience

    "Pilonidal Sinus is a fairly common condition among people. It usually happens because of improper hygiene, physical inactivity, and long sitting hours. Once formed, it will keep recurring and oozing of pus, debris and at times- hair particles. This is why, a proper cleaning and removal through a catheter is the only final solution. I suggest you seek a good general surgeon/ proctologist at the earliest or the pain only severes and you risk forming other anorectal diseases such as infections and anal fistula."

    In case you are in Bhubaneswar and planning to undergo laser surgery for a permanent cure of pilonidal sinus, it can cost you between Rs. 41,500 to Rs. 55,000. But depending on various factors, this price range can change from one person to another. A few of those factors are:

    • The severity of the disease condition [pilonidal sinus]
    • Overall condition of the patient

    Is there any ayurvedic treatment for pilonidal sinus?

    The primary treatment for pilonidal sinus in ayurveda is Ksharsutra. This is a special medicated procedure to treat anorectal conditions by using herbal powders and strong alkali. But ayurvedic treatments are not capable of curing the disease from its root and also takes a very long time to show effective results. The only treatment that provides permanent relief from the condition is surgical treatment.

    Metronidazole is one of the best and highly effective creams for pilonidal sinus management. The cream helps in clearing up the abscess and also prevents bacteria from multiplying.

    How to cure pilonidal sinus in 3 days?

    Homeopathy intends to treat pilonidal sinus from the root, but takes a significantly long time to show effective results. Homeopathy treats the condition as a whole, but one needs to continue the medication for a really long time. If your pilonidal sinus is rapidly growing or in case your condition is severe, homeopathy is not not a plausible treatment line for you. In that case, you should consult with a proctology expert and undergo surgical treatment which is likely to cure your condition within the shortest time.

    Know about the prevalence of Pilonidal Sinus in Bhubaneswar

    According to a study group in Orissa, Pilonidal sinus is most common in the 15-30 age group and rare cases in people above the age of 40 years. Nearly 2-5% of the population in Bhubaneswar is suffering from this disease. Also, males are afflicted about 3 times more than females. The reason is that pilonidal sinus occurs in the lower part of the back region and usually affects young, hairy, overweight males who sweat a lot and may sit for long hours.

    If you are experiencing symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus or taking treatments already, but not getting desired results, schedule an appointment with the best doctor in Bhubaneswar.

    How do you know you have a pilonidal sinus or cyst?

    You can look for symptoms below and identify the condition:

    • pain when sitting or standing
    • swelling of the cyst
    • reddened, sore skin around the area
    • pus or blood draining from the abscess, causing a foul odor
    • hair protruding from the lesion
    • formation of over one sinus tract, or holes in the skin
    • low-grade fever, but this is rare

    Different surgical treatments for pilonidal sinus

    Here are the different surgical treatments for pilonidal sinus treatment:

    • Laser pilonidal sinus treatment- Laser surgery for pilonidal sinus is the most effective treatment for pilonidal sinus. During the procedure, the proctologist uses a high-intensity laser beam to close off the sinus tract. The doctor removes the entire pit of the pilonidal sinus so that the infection does not recur. It is an easier and higher precision procedure to perform as compared to the earlier mentioned types of open surgery. The treatment procedure requires only one day of dressing as there are no wounds left behind to heal. The laser energy also promotes the faster healing of the site of the surgery. Thus, it takes a very short time to completely recover from laser surgery for the pilonidal sinus.
    • Incision and drainage- Incision and drainage is an open surgical procedure recommended mostly when the cyst becomes infected. It is performed with local anesthesia to make the affected area numb. The surgeon makes an incision in the cyst to drain the infectious fluid and pus. The doctor packs the hole with gauze and leaves it open to heal. It can take up to 4-6 weeks to heal the cyst completely.
    • Pilonidal cystectomy- Pilonidal cystectomy is the surgical removal of the entire pilonidal cyst. The treatment is performed after administering general/regional anesthesia. The surgeon makes a cut to remove the affected skin along with underlying hair follicles, tissues, and dead cells. If required, the doctor packs the area with surgical gauze. In cases where the infection is severe, the doctor places a tube to drain the fluid from the cyst. The tube is removed when the entire fluid is drained from the cyst.

    Are there any risks and complications involved during pilonidal sinus surgery?

    If performed under the guidance and supervision of a trained proctologist, surgical treatment for pilonidal sinus will not cause any risks or complications. But, like any other surgery, there might be some complications, although not severe. Some of them are:

    • Trauma and bleeding to the site – If the surgery is not performed efficiently, there can be a chance of the anal tissues getting injured. Trauma and injury to the anal tissues can even lead to bleeding. If the surgery is performed by an experienced surgeon, the chances of any injury can be cut down drastically.
    • Infection – Like any other surgery, infection is a common side effect/ complication in case of pilonidal sinus surgery too. Infection can lead to nausea and vomiting in the person. Infection, however, is not a very serious problem and can be treated with medicines. The chances of infection in case of open surgery is much higher than in laser surgery.
    • Squamous cell carcinoma – A type of skin cancer that occurs due to uncontrolled growth of the squamous cells. The condition is not very common but not unheard of. To prevent such complications, it is extremely important that the surgery is performed by an experienced and trained surgeon.
