Pilonidal Sinus Surgery Treatment in India

Pari Iyer, a 28-year-old software engineer, had been struggling with a painful, recurring lump at the base of her spine for over two years. Long hours at her desk seemed to aggravate it, causing throbbing pain and occasional foul-smelling drainage that stained her clothes and made her self-conscious. After multiple rounds of antibiotics failed to provide lasting relief, her general surgeon, Dr. Mehta, explained that the pilonidal sinus had become chronic and infected. He recommended a minimally invasive procedure called pit picking to remove the sinus tracts and promote healing from within. Pari was anxious about surgery and taking time off work, but the constant pain had become debilitating. The procedure itself was quick under local anesthesia. The initial recovery was uncomfortable, requiring meticulous wound care and avoiding sitting directly on the area for two weeks. However, within a month, the wound had healed cleanly. Six months later, Pari is pain-free, can sit through her workday comfortably, and has regained her confidence. Her emotional journey shifted from frustration and embarrassment about a 'taboo' condition to immense relief and gratitude for a simple solution that gave her life back.
