A painful swelling with pus near the tailbone / cleft that bursts, heals, and returns. It happens when hair gets trapped under skin and forms a tunnel. Laser drains it but often misses hair nests. Kshar Sutra therapy cleans the entire pit and hair tract from within — sphincter-free area, but needs complete tract removal to stop recurrence.
Pilonidal Sinus:
Healing the Pit That,
Keeps Coming Back
What is Pilonidal / Nadi Vrana?
In Ayurveda called Nadi Vrana — a tubular wound. Hair in the natal cleft punctures skin due to friction (long sitting, biking, sweating). Body forms a pit / tunnel around it. That tunnel keeps collecting hair & pus, so it bursts again.
Simple Sinus
Single pit with one track, occasional discharge.
Multiple pits, multiple hair-filled tracks.
Operated with flap surgery but came back because hair roots were left.

Treatments Aftercare
Conventional surgery removes the pile mass but does not correct the underlying tissue metabolism, bowel load, and sphincter tone. The wound heals, but the field remains diseased.

✓ Daily sterile dressing, avoid dust, sweat, tight synthetics
✓ No sitting >30 min continuous — use ring cushion, stand & walk breaks
✓ Weight control + strict hygiene, keep cleft dry, trim surrounding hair
✓ Antibiotics / Ayurveda medicines full course, no gap
