What is a Pilonidal Sinus and its Symptoms?
Dr Amita Jain says, “a pilonidal sinus is a tiny hole or tunnel in the skin that can easily become infected. It usually forms in the cleft at the top of the buttocks. When a pilonidal sinus becomes infected, it might turn into an abscess or cyst. A pilonidal cyst generally contains hair, dirt, and debris. It may cause severe pain and might ooze pus and blood and have a strong odor."
She further adds, "A pilonidal sinus infection mostly impacts men and is also common in young adults. It is also more common in people who sit a lot, like IT and finance professionals and among people who spends long hours driving car.”
The symptoms of an infection include:
- Pain while sitting or standing
- Swelling of the cyst
- Reddened, sore skin around the area
- Pus or blood draining from the abscess, causing a foul odor
- Hair protruding through the lesion
- Formation of more than one sinus tract or holes in the skin
When to see a surgeon for pilonidal sinus treatment?
Dr Jain says if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above, then its time to see a specialist for pilonidal sinus. Dr Jain says, “please note that pilonidal sinus pain is different than normal back pain.
Normal back pain generally comes through muscles or the spine and seems like a dull ache in the lower back, which worsens with movement but has zero skin swelling or discharge. Whereas, a pilonidal sinus pain is localized near your tailbone, mostly sharp and quite severe while sitting, and might be linked with redness, swelling, and even pus discharge”.
