Understanding Pilonidal Sinus:
A pilonidal sinus is a small tunnel or hole that forms under the skin, usually at the top of the cleft between the buttocks. It can become filled with hair, debris, and become infected, causing discomfort and pain. Pilonidal sinuses are more common in young men and can be recurrent.
Causes and Risk Factors:
The exact cause of pilonidal sinus is not clear, but several factors may contribute:
-
Hair Follicle Irritation: Friction or irritation of hair follicles in the buttock cleft may play a role.
-
Ingrown Hairs: Ingrown hairs can penetrate the skin and trigger the formation of a sinus.
-
Sedentary Lifestyle: Sitting for extended periods may contribute to the development of pilonidal sinuses.
-
Excess Hair: Individuals with a lot of body hair may be more prone to pilonidal sinus.
Symptoms of Pilonidal Sinus:
Symptoms of pilonidal sinus may include:
-
Pain and Tenderness: Pain and tenderness in the lower back, near the cleft of the buttocks.
-
Swelling: Swelling or a small dimple or depression in the skin.
-
Drainage: Pus or blood drainage from the sinus.
