A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or cyst that develops near the tailbone, usually at the top of the buttock cleft. It often contains hair, dirt, and skin debris and can cause pain, swelling, pus discharge, and repeated infections if not treated properly.
At Medisure Surgery Care, we provide advanced and minimally invasive pilonidal sinus treatment for long-lasting relief and minimal scarring.
What Is Pilonidal Sinus?
A pilonidal sinus is an abnormal pocket in the skin that usually forms due to ingrown hair and friction in the tailbone area. Over time, it can get infected and turn into a painful abscess.
This condition is more common in:
- Young adults
- People who sit for long hours
- Individuals with excessive body hair

How Is Pilonidal Sinus Diagnosed?
Diagnosis is usually done through:
- Physical examination: Visual inspection of the tailbone area.
- Medical history review: Discussion of symptoms and activity levels.
Advanced tests are rarely required unless complications are suspected.
Treatment Options for Pilonidal Sinus
