💡 Introduction

A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cyst that forms under the skin, usually near the tailbone (at the top of the buttocks). It often contains hair, pus, and debris and can become painful and infected if left untreated.

While home remedies can offer temporary relief, the most effective and permanent solution is laser pilonidal sinus surgery — a painless and scar-free treatment now available at Sayra Hospital & Piles Centre, Lucknow.


🔍 What is Pilonidal Sinus?

The term “pilonidal” means “nest of hair.” It’s caused when loose hair penetrates the skin and gets trapped, leading to inflammation and infection.
Once the cyst gets infected, it may form an abscess that drains pus or blood through a small opening.

If untreated, it can become a chronic recurring condition.


⚠️ Common Causes of Pilonidal Sinus

  1. Ingrown Hair: Hair that grows into the skin instead of outward.
  2. Prolonged Sitting: Common among drivers, students, and IT professionals.
  3. Friction & Sweat: Causes hair to break and enter the skin.
  4. Poor Hygiene: Allows bacteria to infect the trapped hair follicle.
  5. Obesity: Increases friction and risk of infection.
  6. Hormonal Changes: Hair growth during puberty often triggers onset.


🚨 Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus

If you have any of the following symptoms near your tailbone, you may be suffering from pilonidal sinus:

  • Pain or tenderness near the buttocks
  • Swelling or redness at the base of the spine
  • Pus or bloody discharge from a small opening
  • Foul odor from the infected area
  • Fever in case of severe infection
  • Formation of multiple sinus openings

If ignored, the infection can spread and become a recurrent, painful condition.
