I consulted a doctor who advised that I should get treatment done for pilonidal sinus because there is a problem in the top skin layer. I want to understand whether undergoing surgery for pilonidal sinus is safe, how soon it should be treated, what the total cost will be, and whether insurance or EMI options are available. I also want to know about the doctor’s experience and when I should plan the procedure.

Based on the consultation, the doctor has advised early treatment for pilonidal sinus, as delaying it can increase the risk of infection, pain, and recurrence. The condition affects the top layer of skin, and timely treatment helps prevent further complications. When performed by experienced specialists, the procedure is considered safe, and there are no long-term health issues expected after proper treatment.

The estimated cost for pilonidal sinus treatment ranges between ₹60,000 and ₹65,000, depending on whether an open procedure or another surgical approach is recommended. EMI options are available, and the monthly installment can be adjusted based on your salary one discussed option was around ₹3,333 per month. Health insurance claims are usually applicable for open surgery, while laser treatment may not be covered under insurance.

The procedure is handled by experienced surgeons and proctology specialists who have been treating pilonidal sinus, piles, and fistula cases for over 15 years. Treatment is available at multiple locations, including Hyderabad, and the same doctor can be arranged for consistency in care.

You can choose to proceed with the surgery at a time that’s comfortable for you  whether early or after discussing with your family. Once the date and payment method are finalized, the team will assist you with the entire process to ensure a smooth experience.
