I have a pilonidal abscess and am wondering
if there is anything besides surgery for this disorder?
Well, you may try antibiotics but they
usually do not work for large lesions. Your surgeon may try and aspirate the
abscess, but chances of recurrence are very high. Surgery is usually done for
this disorder, but I can tell you right now, the results are abysmal.
The majority of patient are left with
severe pain and scars. Most patients are dissatisfied with surgery and I agree
with them. My best advice is try sitz baths at home, use painkillers and
antibiotics. Shave off all the hair from the anal and rectal area. Lose weight
and hopefully you may not need to see a surgeon. If you do, rest assured, it
will not be painless.
