Hi Saurabh, Pilonidal Cyst can be effectively treated through Kshar Sutra Treatment. I would advice you to take opinion from both surgeons and Kshar Sutra Experts. After that you can make your decision. In short, Kshar Sutra Therapy has better success rates and low recurrence chances. Ok. Good luck.

Hi Leela Yadav, most of the patients need Kshar Sutra Therapy for permanent treatment of Pilonidal Sinus. In a few cases we recommend medicines that can provide temporary relief from the symptoms and can help in preventing further spread of the disease. You can opt for allopathic medicines, ayurvedic medicines or homeopathic medicines depending upon your choice but do no expect permanent cure of pilonidal sinus through medicines. Thank you.
