Big Swelling Under The Tailbone, Pain On Sitting Or Walking. Pilondial Cyst?
I have what seems to be a hemeroids but it seems higher that usual, like right under the tailbone, but not above it. And it is really really painful! It s hard to sit or walk for the past 4 days. It bled at first, but now it s just swollen, like a big almond and hurts. I ve has hemeroids before but not one this painful. Could it be a pilonial cyst? I ve checked online but those seem to be above the tailbone and not under it near the rectal opening?
hello.there is a possibility that you have a pilonidal sinus(not cyst).You will need to consult a surgeon,antibiotics should help, if not, complete excision would be required.
