Pilonidal Sinus - Say No To Surgery!

Pilonidal Sinus is a disease commonly seen in people with hairy skin. The disease presents as a small nodular swelling in the lower spinal region with off and on blood mixed pus and watery discharges. This sinus is formed because of underlying hairs which are impacted beneath the skin and act as a source of infection.

Once the pus is formed; it creates a passage to come out on the skin; thus a sinus is formed. This disease is usually not curable by oral medication like antibiotics etc., Ayurvedic as well as homeopathic oral medication is also of not much help. Nowadays; pilonidal sinus patients are treated with surgery/ Z plasty. With these surgical procedures; chances of recurrence are as high as 15 %. 

Ayurvedic Treatment for Pilonidal Sinus

However, in Ayurveda; Pilonidal Sinus can be very effectively and very conveniently treated by Graded Ksharsutra. In this procedure; first, the sinus tract is defined with respect to its depth, direction, and branching pattern with careful probing and sinogram. Once the sinus tract has been precisely defined; medicated Ksharsutra is placed in the tract with the help of certain instruments.  

Now from this medicated thread; medicine is gradually released in the tract. This medicine (Kshara) induces a potent debridement effect on the sinus tract as a result all the unhealthy fibrogranulomatous tissue, pus pockets, and accumulated hairs, etc. are cleared from the tract. The medicinal coating on the thread gets dissolved hence the thread has to be replaced by a new thread within a week or two. 

The sinus tract heals at the rate of 0.5 to 1 cm per sitting. Thus a small sinus tract which is around 4-5 cm long may take around 8-10 sittings to heal completely. The chances of recurrence of the Sinus tract after Ksharsutra treatment are predictably ZERO.
