Cyst Fistula Excision Treatment in India

Aarav Davis, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid rock climber, had been dealing with a persistent, painful lump near his tailbone for over two years. Initially dismissed as an ingrown hair, it would periodically become inflamed, drain foul-smelling pus, and make sitting at his desk or wearing a climbing harness agony. After multiple rounds of antibiotics failed to provide a lasting solution, his primary care physician diagnosed him with a pilonidal cyst and referred him to a general surgeon. The surgeon explained that the cyst had formed a fistula, a small tunnel under the skin, and recommended a Cyst Fistula Excision to remove the entire tract and prevent recurrence. Terrified of surgery but exhausted by the chronic pain and embarrassment, Aarav agreed. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. The recovery was challenging; he had an open wound that required meticulous daily packing for several weeks, which his partner helped with. He felt frustrated and housebound initially. However, after two months of diligent care, the wound healed completely. A year later, Aarav is pain-free, back to climbing, and feels a profound sense of relief. The emotional journey was from chronic anxiety and shame about the condition to immense gratitude for regaining his active lifestyle and confidence.
