Ankit’s story

February 16, 2016

I’m a 19 year old male from India. I saw blood everyday in my underwear but I thought it must be haemorrhoids because I was hitting the gym everyday so I kept ignoring for 6 months.

But then I showed it to a doctor and the cyst was golf ball size. They removed a 4cm x 3cm x 2cm tissue and left the wound open. One month after the surgery the wound is healing. For the first 10 days there was no improvement but then It healed quickly considering the size. Now it is smaller and only 0.5 cm deep. I’m taking bath in KMNO4 twice a day and then packing it with a dressing of Metrogyl-P. Using a coccyx cushion while driving and sitting! 🙂
