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 4-month-old son was born with imperforate anus and had a colostomy done. He weighs 6 kg now when is the right time for his next major surgery? Also, will he be able to potty train normally in the future?
The ideal timing for the next major surgery (reconstructive surgery) depends on individual factors and the severity of the malformation. While 3-6 months is a typical timeframe after a colostomy, the child's weight, overall health, and the surgeon's assessment are key considerations. Nemours KidsHealth
