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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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’s advice for long-term resolution.

View allCould surgical mesh be visible in imaging tests like X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans? I'm kind of concerned because I had a procedure with mesh recently, and I'm wondering if it shows up in these tests or if something might be wrong.
Surgical mesh is typically made of synthetic or biologic materials that can be visible on imaging tests, with varying degrees of clarity: X-rays may show mesh as a faint outline, CT scans can provide more detailed images, and MRIs may show mesh as a signal void or low-signal intensity area, but the visibility of mesh on imaging tests depends on the type of mesh, its location, and the imaging modality used.
