Understanding Pilonidal Sinus

Pilonidal sinus is a condition where a small tunnel or cyst forms in the skin at the top of the buttocks crease (natal cleft). The word "pilonidal" means "nest of hair" - these cysts often contain hair and skin debris.

The condition commonly affects young adults, especially males, and can cause significant discomfort when infected. Without treatment, it tends to recur and can become a chronic problem.

Common Symptoms:

  • Pain and swelling at the tailbone area
  • Redness and warmth of skin
  • Drainage of pus or blood
  • Foul-smelling discharge
  • Visible pit or opening in the skin

Frequently Asked Questions

Pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cyst that forms in the skin at the top of the buttocks crease. It usually contains hair and debris and can become infected, forming an abscess.

It's believed to be caused by loose hairs that penetrate the skin, triggering a foreign body reaction. Risk factors include being male, young adult age, excessive sitting, obesity, and being hairy.

With proper surgical technique and good wound care, recurrence rates are low (5-10%). Keeping the area clean and hair-free helps prevent recurrence.

Most patients can sit with some discomfort within a week. Complete comfort typically returns within 2-4 weeks depending on the technique used.
