Pain, redness, or swelling near the tailbone area
Pus or blood discharge from a small opening near the buttocks
Bad odor coming from the infected area
Formation of multiple pits or holes in the skin
Fever or fatigue due to infection

How is Pilonidal Sinus Diagnosed?

At Pristyn Care Zoi, our doctors follow a simple and precise diagnostic approach to confirm the condition.
Diagnosis involves:

The doctor examines the affected area near the tailbone to look for swelling, redness, or drainage.
The doctor may ask about previous infections, symptoms, and duration of pain.
If pus or discharge is present, a swab test may be done to identify the bacteria causing the infection.
In complex or recurrent cases, imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI may be used to assess the depth and number of sinus tracts.

Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor recommends the most suitable treatment option, often laser surgery for long-term results.

Advanced Treatment Options for Pilonidal Sinus

At Pristyn Care Zoi Hyderabad, we provide a range of treatment options for pilonidal sinus, depending on the severity of the condition.

Laser Pilonidal Sinus Surgery

This is the most advanced and minimally invasive treatment available.

A laser fiber is inserted into the sinus tract to remove infected tissue and seal the cavity.
It causes minimal bleeding and leaves no large scars.
The recovery is quick, and patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
The risk of recurrence is very low compared to traditional surgery.

Incision and Drainage

This method is used when there is an active abscess. The surgeon drains the pus to relieve pain and infection. However, this is a temporary solution and may not prevent recurrence.

Excision Surgery

In chronic or complex cases, the sinus tract is surgically removed. This method is effective but may involve a longer recovery period compared to laser treatment.

Laser treatment remains the most preferred option at Pristyn Care Zoi because it offers superior results, minimal downtime, and faster healing.

Recovery Time

Recovery after laser pilonidal sinus surgery is relatively quick. Most patients return to work or daily activities within 2 to 3 days.
Complete healing usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size of the sinus and individual recovery rate.
Since laser treatment is minimally invasive, patients experience very little pain and scarring compared to traditional surgery.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before the Procedure:
Your doctor will examine the area, review your medical history, and may recommend basic tests such as a blood test or swab test. You’ll be advised to avoid smoking or alcohol before surgery.

During the Procedure:
Laser pilonidal sinus surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia. A thin laser probe is inserted into the sinus tract to destroy infected tissue and seal the cavity. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

After the Procedure:
Patients can go home the same day. Minor discomfort or soreness may occur for a few days. Doctors provide detailed post-care instructions to ensure smooth healing.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

Day 1–2: Mild pain or soreness; rest is recommended.
Day 3–5: Gradual improvement; light activities can be resumed.
Week 2: The wound heals completely; follow-up visit for final checkup.

Post-treatment care includes:

Keep the area clean and dry.
Avoid sitting for long hours until healing is complete.
Wear loose-fitting clothes to reduce friction.
Shave or trim hair around the treated area regularly.
Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water to prevent infection.
Follow all medication and care instructions provided by your doctor.

Proper post-operative care ensures long-lasting results and prevents recurrence.
