How To Stop Recurring Pilonidal Sinus?
Hi, my husband is suffering from pilonidal sinus problem. He had undergone a surgery for the same in 2011 but it has recurred again now and is causing a lot of pain. We have been advised another surgery by local doctor. I want to know how to stop its recurrence? Should laser surgery for permanent hair removal on that portion would be advantageous? Is homeopathy a viable option too?

Hi,
Ask your surgeon about a procedure called Bascoms cleft lift operation, which is the standard for recurring pilonidal cyst. Laser hair removal is a good idea, homeopathy is not.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
