Pilonidal sinus can not be treated by oral medicines allopathic/ homeopathic/ ayurvedic so usually, surgery is advised in pilonidal sinus patients. But surgery is not the right choice for the reason of the recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery and other complications. However, this problem can be completely treated without surgery by graded ksharsutra treatment. No hospitalization or bed rest is required in this treatment. You can continue your normal routine activities as usual during this treatment. In this treatment graded ksharsutra - a specialized medicated thread is placed in the sinus tract after defining the sinus tract by careful manual probing. Medicine released from graded ksharsutra debrides the sinus tract and induces healing. This medicine works for 5-7 days so old ksharsutra needs to be replaced by a new one at a week or 10 days intervals. The number of graded ksharsutra changes required for complete healing of pilonidal sinus depends on depth direction and branching pattern of the sinus tract.
