View allI'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?
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.

I've been dealing with both hernia and piles and I'm not sure which one needs treatment first Should I consider surgery for either of these conditions Also is it safe to get a full body massage for pain relief with these issues
The best treatment for a hernia is to get surgery. Your doctor will tell you the surgery procedure after looking at the condition. Basically, there are three procedures for hernia repair; Laparoscopy, open repair, and robotic repair. Both hernia and piles need treatment.
