12 years ago I had surgery for a pilonidal sinus, but now the problem has come back. I'm really worried is there a permanent solution for this? The recurring pain is bothering me a lot, and I don't want to keep dealing with it. What options do I have?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Recurrent pilonidal sinus often needs surgery for permanent resolution. Laser excision or cleft lift surgery offers better long-term results than traditional excision methods.

I recently had my gall bladder removed, it's been about 10 days now, and they've taken the stitches out. I'm wondering when it would be safe to start having sex again. Can you give me any advice or guidelines on this?
It is generally safe to resume sexual activity after gall bladder surgery once your stitches have been removed and your incision site has healed completely. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity to allow your body to fully recover. Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
