I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried it might come back. Is homeopathy a good option to treat this without recurrence

Pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition often caused by hair and infection under the skin, and surgery is the most definitive treatment to remove the tract completely and prevent recurrence. While homeopathy may help manage mild symptoms temporarily, it does not address the root cause and has a high chance of recurrence without surgical intervention. It's best to follow your surgeon‚Äôs advice for long-term resolution.
