Hi,I have a issue of pilonidal sinus. How much for pilonidal sinus treatments? Please suggest me.

Question

Usually surgery is recommended for Pilonidal sinus. But it is not a good choice for the reason of recurrence of problem after surgery. However Ayurveda recommends Ksharsutra treatment for this problem which is the permanent treatment for Pilonidal Sinus. In this treatment; Ksharsutra - a medicated thread is placed in sinus tract. Medicine released from Ksharsutra debrides the sinus tract and induces healing. This medicine works for 5 to 7 days. So old Ksharsutra needs to be changed by a new one at a week or 10 days interval. No. Of Ksharsutra changes required for complete healing of sinus depends on depth, direction and branching pattern of sinus tract. It is observed that Pilonidal sinus heals @ 0.5 - 1 cm per sitting i.e. To say that a sinus tract of 3 cm length generally requires 4-5 Ksharsutra changes. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual. For further support and appointment you may call reception at Sushruta Ano Rectal Institute.
