HI EVERYBODY, iwas operated for pilonidal abscess in feb 2008. it was very painful at that time.THE doctor removed the abscess & LEFT the wound open to heal.it took one month to heal&it appeard that every thing is fine.
BUT 2years later,again it started ,although in minor form.i took antibiotic&pain killers.&it settled down.since then it flared twice but in minor forms. i got scared& as i wanted a defenetive cure i went to the surgeon,&he said he will remove it&it will take one month.i underwent surgery on 30 sept.2010.the fucking surgeon removed too much of tissue.i m still going through recovery after 2&half month. i m in lot of pain while wlking.
i wish i would never have gone to surgery. i learnt later in this site that such minor cases can be resolved with just hygeine & removing hairs regularly. i wish,i could never had this surgery. i wish i could have gone through this site before. i wold have saved myself from a lot of trauma.
