I recently had laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia, but it's been 10 days and now I'm dealing with fever and chills. They found out there's an infection and pus where the mesh is, though it's sterile with no bacteria found. The doctor thinks my body is rejecting the mesh and wants to do another surgery to take it out. Is there any other option besides a second surgery and mesh removal? And if they do take out the mesh, am I at risk of getting another inguinal hernia? Just looking for some advice on what to do next. Any suggestions?

Mesh is required to strengthen the wall, in direct hernia this is done to prevent the recurrence of hernia.. Doctor will the mesh allergy, mesh is made of inert metal which don't react with external agent.. But if you are really allergic to it then they will remove it...

View allI 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

I'm really worried because I had surgery about a year ago for a pilonidal sinus, and now the wound just won't heal. It's been at least 90 days since it stopped showing any signs of improvement. Can you give me some advice or suggestions on what to do?
