I have a pilonidal sinus that came back after having laser surgery in 2015. This time it's not as bad pus discharged three times, but now the hole is closed with no pain or redness. I'm looking for a minimally invasive option like EPSiT (endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment). Are there any hospitals or day care clinics in Chennai that do this procedure? I'll be there from August 20th to 30th and want to get it done during that time. My case doesn't seem complicated, but even if it is, I still prefer EPSiT. I really don't want to be hospitalized or bedridden for months again can you recommend a doctor or clinic for this?

To prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery, focus on hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Maintain good hygiene, including regular showering and drying the area, to prevent bacterial accumulation. Regular hair removal, ideally weekly, is crucial to avoid ingrown hairs that can trigger infection. Additionally, consider laser hair removal for more permanent hair reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, as it can put pressure on the area, and maintain a healthy weight

My pilonidal sinus burst and drained a lot of white pus and blood. Should I still get surgery or can I just take pimple healing meds and antibiotics?
While antibiotics might help with the infection after a pilonidal sinus burst, surgery is likely still needed, especially if the sinus is chronic or keeps recurring. Antibiotics alone won't fully address the underlying issue of the sinus and the need for complete removal. See a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment options, including potential surgery or incision and drainage, to prevent recurrence and further complications
