Pilonidal sinus is a condition that develops near the tailbone, typically at the top of the crease between the buttocks. It may begin as a small, painless swelling but can progress into a painful infection or abscess if not managed properly. What makes this condition particularly frustrating for patients is its tendency to recur if not treated effectively.

Dr. Ashok Bohra, Consultant General & Bariatric Surgeon in Dubai, provides advanced treatment for pilonidal sinus with a focus on both immediate relief and long-term prevention. His approach is guided by ethical surgical practice, ensuring that treatment is tailored to the severity of the condition and the patient’s lifestyle.

Many patients initially experience mild discomfort while sitting or notice a small swelling in the area. Over time, symptoms may worsen, leading to infection, discharge, or severe pain. In some cases, patients may develop repeated episodes of swelling and drainage, indicating a chronic condition.

Common symptoms include:

• Pain or discomfort while sitting
• Swelling near the tailbone
• Discharge of pus or blood from the affected area
• Redness or tenderness around the site

Because of the location and nature of the condition, patients often delay seeking treatment, which can lead to more complex disease.

A Careful and Individualized Evaluation

When you consult Dr. Ashok Bohra, the focus is on understanding the stage and severity of the condition. A clinical examination is usually sufficient to diagnose pilonidal sinus, but the real importance lies in identifying whether the condition is acute, chronic, or recurrent.

This helps determine the most appropriate treatment strategy and avoids unnecessary procedures in early or mild cases.

Treatment Approach Based on Severity

One of the key strengths of Dr. Ashok Bohra’s approach is that treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Early or mild cases may be managed conservatively, especially if there is no active infection.

However, in cases where infection, abscess, or recurrence is present, surgical treatment becomes necessary to prevent further complications.

Modern Surgical Treatment for Long-Term Relief

Surgical treatment aims not only to remove the infected tissue but also to reduce the chances of recurrence. Dr. Ashok Bohra uses modern techniques that focus on proper wound management and healing.

Patients benefit from:

• Effective removal of the sinus tract
• Reduced risk of recurrence

• Faster return to normal routine

The choice of surgical technique depends on the severity of the condition and is always discussed in detail with the patient.
