Question
I'm dealing with a Pilonidal sinus and I've got two openings that bleed anytime I lie down to sleep. It's pretty worrying. Could you advise me on what treatments are available or what I should do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
pilonidal sinus depends on the severity of the condition and the type of symptoms: No symptoms: Pilonidal disease that doesn't cause symptoms doesn't need treatment. Antibiotics: If the infection is spreading or you have another illness, antibiotics may be prescribed. Drainage and packing: A pilonidal abscess can be opened, drained, and packed with gauze. Surgery: Surgery is often the only way to treat the cause of the abscess and remove infected tissue. This is called an excision. Laser surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to seal the sinus tract after draining pus.
