Question 3

I've been noticing some pus coming out of small openings on my back and my local GP mentioned it could be a pilonidal sinus, saying surgery might be the only option.

Accepted Answer

Pilonidal sinus usually requires surgery for a cure; early cases might respond to hygiene and antibiotics but recurrence is common without surgery.

I have a 5mm umbilical hernia with no pain or other symptoms, but I deal with frequent constipation. Should I just wait and see how it goes or is surgery the better option? Looking for advice from a general surgeon or gastroenterology specialist.
