I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor is suggesting surgery for it. I've heard that it can keep coming back. Is there any way homeopathy could help with this problem?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While surgery is a common treatment for pilonidal sinus, homeopathic remedies like Silica, Graphites, and Thuja may help alleviate symptoms and potentially prevent recurrence; however, it's essential to consult a qualified homeopathic practitioner for personalized treatment, as homeopathy is not a substitute for surgical intervention, and a combined approach may be necessary to manage the condition effectively.

View allI've had an inguinal hernia for 6 years and finally decided to go for open surgery - will it be very painful afterwards and what kind of anesthesia is usually used for this procedure? Also wondering about the surgery timing and where exactly they make the incisions - is it just one cut or multiple?
depends on type of procedure.

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?
Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions
