Sir I have a pilonidal sinus and I want go to the indian army. Is there any any small surgery for my problem without big wounds. Please advice

Question

Generally Surgery or Z - plasty is recommended for Pilonidal Sinus. But both of these are having a risk factor of recurrence of Pilonidal sinus. Whereas Ayurveda recommends Ksharsutra treatment for Pilonidal Sinus. In this treatment; Ksharsutra - A medicated thread is placed in Sinus tract. Medicines released from thread debrides the sinus tract and induces healing. Medicine present in Ksharsutra works for 7- 10 days so this thread needs to be changed with a new Ksharsutra. In this way Sinus tract heals completely and there will be no wound. No. Of Ksharsutra changes required for complete healing of sinus tract will depend on length, depth and branching patter of Sinus tract. Sinus tract heals @ 0.5 to 1 cm per Ksharsutra change. So for a 3 cm long sinus tract 4-5 Ksharsutra changes are required. There is no need for hospitalization in this treatment and you can continue your daily routine work as usual. You can contact through Lybrate or visit OPD for clinical evaluation of your case.
