A pilonidal sinus is an inflammatory condition that can be recognized by the formation of a sinuous tract (a winding tunnel) in the sacrococcygeal (tailbone) area. This condition causes significant discomfort and pilonidal sinus surgery is almost always required.
Activities that cause friction, like sitting, can force the hair growing in the area to burrow back under the skin. The body considers this hair foreign and launches an immune response against it. Ingrown hair can trigger this response from the body and a pocket of pus forms around the area if it gets infected.
Hair penetration
The formation of pilonidal sinuses can be triggered by loose hairs piercing the skin at the buttock cleft.
Friction and pressure
Sinus tract development may result from persistent friction and pressure in the sacrococcygeal region.
Congenital factors
An increased risk of pilonidal sinus may result from a genetic predisposition.
Obesity
Due to increased pressure and sweat accumulation, being overweight might cause the development of a pilonidal sinus.
The forms that a pilonidal sinus can present as are:
- Pilonidal sinus acute: This is the most prevalent kind, and it starts with abrupt symptoms including pain, redness, swelling, and maybe pus draining from the sinus hole. It occurs as a result of a sinus infection.
- Chronic Pilonidal Sinuses: This type progresses gradually and exhibits intervals of minor symptoms followed by discomfort and discharge. Treatment for chronic pilonidal sinuses is more difficult since they may have several sinus branching pathways.
- A pilentinoid cyst: This is the result of an infection and pus-filled pilonidal sinus, which forms a sore, swollen bump close to the tailbone. Common symptoms include fever, redness, and increasing pain
- Pilonidal Sinus Secondary: If some remnants of the tract persist after the surgical excision of a pilonidal sinus, a secondary sinus may form. A thorough surgical excision during the first procedure is extremely important.
- Pre-sacral pilonidal sinus: Rarely, a pilonidal sinus may form nearer the anus and lower in the natal cleft. Because of its position, it may be more difficult to diagnose and treat.
Once the recovery process begins, you can eventually return to your normal day-to-day business. With supervision and regular monitoring of your health. We at KKCare guide you through every step of the way, after post-op recovery after pilonidal sinus surgery.
The options for pilonidal sinus treatment include:
- Conservative Remedy: If you get diagnosed early and aren’t experiencing severe pain, or signs of inflammation, your doctor might prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It treats a wide range of bacteria.
- Phenol Injections: The doctor will first give you a local anaesthetic, then inject phenol inside the cyst which acts as an antiseptic. This procedure usually calls for repetitions and also has a high recurrence rate. It is not recommended for most cases.
- Surgery: If you have a recurring pilonidal sinus infection or more than one sinus tract, your doctor will recommend a pilonidal sinus surgery. They will begin by injecting a local anesthetic, then the surgeon will open the lesions and get rid of all the pus. The wounds are then stitched close.
Pilonidal sinuses require prompt medical attention. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, including conservative management or surgical intervention- go a long way to prevent recurrence.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus
You may not notice any symptoms at first other than a dimple-like imprint on your skin. But if it gets infected, it develops into a cyst (a sac filled with fluid) or an abscess (inflamed tissue that stores pus).
The signs of an infected pilonidal sinus include:
- Pain when sitting or standing
- Swelling of the cyst
- Reddened skin around the area
- Moderate to high fever
- Pus or blood draining from the abscess
- Strong, foul odour
- Hair protruding from the lesion
Traditionally, sinus tracts and afflicted tissue are removed during surgery. This process aids in the removal of the source of pain and discomfort, facilitating faster healing and lowering the likelihood of recurrence. Dr. Shrikant Kurhade, a highly qualified and experienced robotic surgeon in Pune, ensures precise procedures for effective and long-lasting effects.
Laser technology has transformed the treatment of pilonidal sinus. This minimally invasive technique removes sinus tracts and promotes tissue repair by using concentrated laser radiation. Pilonidal sinus laser treatment in Pune is well-known for its accuracy, low discomfort, and speedy recovery. Patients frequently report less scarring and a lower risk of infection, making it an increasingly popular option.
Individuals suffering from pilonidal sinus can benefit from these cutting-edge therapies delivered by skilled medical specialists. These approaches not only relieve symptoms but also improve patients’ general quality of life, allowing them to return to their usual activities sooner.
