I'm dealing with a Pilonidal sinus and I've got two openings that bleed anytime I lie down to sleep. It's pretty worrying. Could you advise me on what treatments are available or what I should do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
pilonidal sinus depends on the severity of the condition and the type of symptoms: No symptoms: Pilonidal disease that doesn't cause symptoms doesn't need treatment. Antibiotics: If the infection is spreading or you have another illness, antibiotics may be prescribed. Drainage and packing: A pilonidal abscess can be opened, drained, and packed with gauze. Surgery: Surgery is often the only way to treat the cause of the abscess and remove infected tissue. This is called an excision. Laser surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to seal the sinus tract after draining pus.

my mom had gallbladder laparoscopy surgery a month ago but her stitches still haven't healed properly and she's diabetic - is this normal or should we be worried about her wound healing taking so long
Delayed wound healing after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery in diabetics is common—optimize sugar levels and follow wound care strictly.
