My husband has had a recurring pilonidal cyst in the same spot ever since he started working from home. It's come back 34 times now, but we haven't done any treatment yet. A surgeon recently recommended flap surgery, but I'm wondering if surgery is really the only option or if there's something else that could prevent it from coming back again

To prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery, focus on hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Maintain good hygiene, including regular showering and drying the area, to prevent bacterial accumulation. Regular hair removal, ideally weekly, is crucial to avoid ingrown hairs that can trigger infection. Additionally, consider laser hair removal for more permanent hair reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, as it can put pressure on the area, and maintain a healthy weight

I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?
Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.
