I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor is suggesting surgery for it. I've heard that it can keep coming back. Is there any way homeopathy could help with this problem?

While surgery is a common treatment for pilonidal sinus, homeopathic remedies like Silica, Graphites, and Thuja may help alleviate symptoms and potentially prevent recurrence; however, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment, as homeopathy is not a substitute for surgical intervention, and a combined approach may be necessary to manage the condition effectively.
