Question

how much does pilonidal sinus surgery cost and is ayurvedic treatment better than medical surgery for this condition

Question

My scan report shows mild probe tenderness in the right iliac fossa and a mildly dilated appendix at 5mm with a few enlarged lymph nodes in the RIF. It says no perforation but mentions subacute appendicitis. No kidney stones or hydronephrosis were found. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with meds?

Question

I've had a pilonidal cyst for the last 4 years and it's really bothering me - is there any medication that can cure it without needing surgery? Are there any new treatments or methods to make it go away for good?
