Virus In Tail Bone, Drainage Required, Recurring During Times Of Stress. Prescribed Surgery As Permanent Cure. What Is This Condition Called?
I am male 31 y/o. I have a re-occuring condition, every few years, a virus in the tailbone. The Drs drain it or it goes away on its own. I am told that surgery (when it s healthy) will remove it permenantly. Often comes back during times of stress . I forget the name of the condition. Can you help me with the name of the condition?
