I had surgery for a pilonidial sinus a year ago but it's coming back again is there any way to treat it without going through another operation
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Recurrent pilonidal sinus often requires surgery. However, some less invasive options like laser treatment or drainage may be available. Consult with a colorectal surgeon to explore these alternatives.

View allI have an anal abscess and I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to treat it. How much would the surgery cost, how painful is the procedure, and how long does recovery usually take?
Anal abscess often requires drainage surgery; it’s typically done under local anesthesia and recovery may take 1–2 weeks with pain control.

I have a 5mm umbilical hernia and I'm not sure how serious it is do I need surgery for something this small? Can I still do light abdominal exercises or lift my 15-month-old baby without making it worse? Is there any chance it might heal on its own with exercise?
please approach a surgeon in apollo hospital

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?
Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions
