Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For ongoing pilonidal sinus issues, surgery is the definitive treatment. Medicines alone may not resolve it and can delay recovery.

View allI've been having pain in my lower abdomen and testicles, and English medicine doctors diagnosed it as reducible right inguinal hernia. They recommended clinical correlation, but I'm really scared of surgery. Is there any ayurvedic treatment that can cure hernia without needing an operation? I'm worried about the pain and want to explore non-surgical options.
While ayurvedic treatments can help manage the pain and discomfort associated with a reducible inguinal hernia, they are unlikely to cure the condition without surgery. Surgery is typically the primary treatment for inguinal hernias to prevent complications and ensure a complete repair. Ayurvedic approaches may provide symptom relief and support the body's healing process, but they are not a substitute for a surgical repair

It's been 3 months since my fistula surgery but the wound still hasn't healed completely - is this normal or could there be an underlying issue causing the delay in healing?
It's not uncommon for fistula wounds to take a few months to heal completely, and a delay in healing can be due to various factors. While a 3-month healing period isn't inherently abnormal, it's important to address any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They can assess the wound, identify potential underlying issues, and recommend appropriate management.

My dad has been dealing with an anal fistula for almost two months now and I'm really worried about him. Can you give me an idea of how much the surgery might cost? We're trying to plan things out but I'm not sure what to expect financially.
Anal fistula surgery costs ₹30,000–₹80,000 depending on procedure type and hospital. Laser options may be costlier but offer faster recovery.
