I've been having pus drainage from a cyst near my tailbone every few months for about 8 months now. There's no pain or bad smell, but I can feel a small lump there during activities like yoga. Should I consider getting drainage treatment or is surgery necessary?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given the persistent pus drainage and lump near the tailbone, you should consider seeking medical attention, as it likely indicates a pilonidal cyst or sinus. While drainage treatment might be an option for some cases, it's crucial to have a diagnosis and discuss all treatment options, including surgery, with a doctor.

My 9-month-old daughter has a large umbilical hernia that goes back in when she's calm but the doctor said to wait 34 months before considering surgery. I'm really worried about it will it go away on its own or is surgery usually needed?
Many umbilical hernias close by age 2–3; surgery is advised only if large, symptomatic, or persistent beyond that age.
