Pilonidal Sinus
Most Effective and Simplified Surgeries for Pilonidal Sinus
A pilonidal sinus (PNS) is a small hole or tunnel in the skin. It may fill with fluid or pus, causing the formation of a cyst or abscess.
What is Pilonidal Sinus?
The Pilonidal Sinus is located in the buttocks’ upper cleft. Hair, grit, and debris are frequently found in pilonidal cysts. It can be extremely painful and frequently becomes infected. It could ooze pus and blood and have an unpleasant aroma if it gets infected.
A PNS is a disorder that primarily affects men and is widespread among adolescent and young adults. Additionally, those who spend a lot of time sitting down, like cab drivers, are more likely to experience it.
