Pilonidal Sinus Treatment

What Is Pilonidal Sinus? 

A pilonidal cyst is a tiny pocket beneath the skin, typically close to the bottom of the  spine. Because it traps hair and dead cells, infection can happen – this might trigger an  abscess. When inflamed, it causes sharp discomfort, bloating in the area, and fluid  leakage. Infection triggers redness, heat, and ongoing soreness. 

Pilonidal sinus often affects those who sit a lot, with thick hair growth, yet it can also  come from constant rubbing near the lower back. 

Types of Pilonidal Sinus

1. Acute Pilonidal Abscess

This condition hits fast, showing up around the  tailbone. But it brings intense pain, along with sore skin that’s hot and swollen. A  buildup of thick fluid can happen there too. Sometimes people feel feverish or  just unwell overall. 

2. Chronic Pilonidal Sinus

A lasting issue where one or more tunnels form  beneath the skin – often hurting now and then, while oozing fluid or blood from  time to time. 

3. Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus

Happens when a pilonidal sinus comes back  after earlier treatment or an operation. Popping up again isn’t rare with older  surgical approaches – especially if follow-up steps are skipped. 

Causes of Pilonidal Sinus

➢ Hair stuck under skin by the tailbone 

➢ Prolonged sitting or a sedentary lifestyle 

➢ Sweating a lot around the backside 

➢ Poor personal hygiene 

➢ Obesity 

➢ Putting on snug or constricting outfits 

➢ Constant rubbing or force on the tailbone 

➢ Folks might inherit it, yet some just grow dense, rough strands across their skin 

These elements make it possible for strands to get under the skin, leading to irritation  and bacterial buildup after a while. 

Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus

➢ Pain around the tailbone, plus soreness in that area 

➢ Bulging or irritation near the top of your butt 

➢ Fluid leaking from the area – sometimes yellow, sometimes red – with a stink  that’s hard to ignore 

➢ Fever shows up when the body fights an illness 

➢ Difficulty sitting or walking comfortably 

If you are noticing these signs stick around or come back, it is recommended to  consult a doctor as soon as possible.
