Can pilonidal sinus be treated without surgery?

What Causes a Pilonidal Sinus?

Healthcare professionals at House of Doctor explain that there are no exact causes of a pilonidal sinus. However, there are some contributing factors which can lead to development of a pilonidal sinus. These include-

• Change in hormone levels
• Ingrown hairs:- Excess hair growth in the buttock areaPilonidal sinuses can be troublesome and can cause immense discomfort if they develop pain. Therefore, choosing the right pilonidal sinus treatment in Mumbai is essential. Also, opting for an expert healthcare service provider like House of Doctors is pivotal for experiencing a stress-free treatment. However, stressing about painful surgeries lasting for hours is no more an option as pilonidal sinus can be treated without surgery.
• Friction: Tight clothing or activities that cause friction in the area can irritate the skin and encourage ingrown hairs.
• Prolonged sitting: Sitting for long periods puts pressure on the buttocks, which can aggravate existing pilonidal sinus or make it more likely to develop.
• Coarse or thick hair: People with coarse or thick hair are more prone to ingrown hairs and thus pilonidal sinus.

Treatment Options

At House of Doctors, our experienced surgeons examine your cyst carefully to provide you with the treatment options which best suit your needs. A lot of conventional methods are available, but because we care about your requirements, we suggest proctology laser treatment for a smooth cure. Generally, the following treatment options are provided depending on the nature of the cyst (pilonidal sinus)-

• Cyst drainage

  This procedure requires lesser time and can happen at one of our facilities. Our surgeon makes a small incision (cut) and drains the fluid from your infected sinus.

• Antibiotic treatment

  If you are not experiencing any severe symptoms then our doctor prescribes you antibiotics. They can only treat skin inflammation. However, antibiotics can’t treat pilonidal cysts completely.

• Laser therapy

  One of the most advanced, safe and easy proctological surgical methods. In this method, our surgeon removes the ingrown hair and prevents the cyst from recurring.

Pilonidal Laser Treatment with House of Doctors

At House of Doctors, our esteemed surgeons recommend laser treatment methods for pilonidal sinus surgery, offering a pain-free and hassle-free experience. For patients with recurring pilonidal sinus or multiple sinus tracts, our doctors advise a surgical procedure. Prior to the surgery, your consulting surgeon will explain the steps involved in pilonidal sinus surgery to ensure clarity and satisfaction.

During this procedure, our surgeon administers local anesthesia. In laser treatment for pilonidal sinus, controlled laser energy is used to burn down the internal walls of the sinus. This process induces scarring, causing the walls of the sinus to collapse and the tracts to close. Any hair follicles inside the sinus are cleaned by the surgeon using a gauze piece. All accumulated dirt and pus are also removed.

Once the laser treatment is completed, the wounds are sealed and allowed to heal naturally. At House of Doctors, we combine laser techniques with minimally invasive procedures to increase the success rate of the surgery, enhance safety, and reduce the chances of recurrence.

Why choose Pilonidal Laser Treatment?

Laser treatment comes with many advantages over conventional surgery-

• 1 Day hospital stay
• 40 minute process
• Quick recover , faster healing
• No loss of blood
• No cuts or scars
• Complete cure- No recurrence
• Painless method
