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?

Recurrent pilonidal sinus often needs surgery for permanent resolution. Laser excision or cleft lift surgery offers better long-term results than traditional excision methods.

View allI had fistula surgery about a year ago but there's still pus coming out from the area when I walk why hasn't it healed completely yet
It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pus discharge after a fistula surgery, even a year later. Several factors can contribute to incomplete healing, and it's important to address them with your doctor. A significant amount of pus after a year suggests a persistent infection or incomplete resolution of the fistula

I recently had fistula surgery and was wondering if homeopathy can help prevent it from coming back is that a good idea or should I stick to conventional treatments?
To avoid fistula recurrence, focus on promoting healing, managing bowel movements, and maintaining good hygiene. A fiber-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and gentle exercise can help prevent constipation and straining, which can increase the risk of recurrence. Additionally, good hygiene practices, including cleaning the area after bowel movements, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, can aid in wound healing and prevent infection
