Pilonidal Sinus Treatment at YNB Health Care

Pilonidal sinus is a condition characterized by the formation of a cyst or abscess in the cleft of the buttocks, often caused by infection or ingrown hairs. It is more prevalent in men and can result in discomfort, pain, and recurrent infections if left untreated. YNB Health Care provides comprehensive treatment options, including medical management, home remedies, and advanced surgical solutions, ensuring effective and lasting relief.

Treatment Options for Pilonidal Sinus

At YNB Health Care, we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments tailored to the severity of the condition:

Non-Surgical Treatments

Medications: For mild cases, antibiotics like Metronidazole, Erythromycin, Clindamycin, and Cefixime are prescribed to combat bacterial infections. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen may also be used to manage symptoms.
Home Remedies: Patients in the early stages can benefit from remedies like warm compresses, tea tree oil application, and Epsom salt baths to reduce pain and inflammation.
