View allI've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and I'm not sure what the best treatment option is. Should I consider plastic surgery or is regular open surgery good enough? I'm a bit worried about recovery and which one would be better long-term
Pilonidal sinus is best treated with surgical options—excision with flap closure or laser.ENT-away inflammations often need tissue excision rather than simple drainage.

I'm dealing with something really weird for the first time. I've got an abscess on my buttcrack, and it's been almost a week now, but it hasn't healed yet. I've been trying antibiotics and warmcold presses, but I still don't see the head coming up. I'm a bit unsure about whom I should visit for this. I think draining it out would be best, but shouldn't there be a head before that can happen? What do you think I should do?
Given the persistence of the abscess near your butt-crack despite antibiotics and home remedies, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon,

Had anal fistula surgery on 5th Oct 2020 and have a desk job. The wound isn't fully healed yet but there's no pain or discomfort. Is it okay to sit for long hours or resume work?
It is important that patients are able to rest for several days following the surgical procedure. During this time, they should allow their bodies to recover, and avoid sitting or walking for too long. Many people find it more comfortable to wear loose-fitting clothes during the recovery period.
