Treatment will depend on the local situation of the Pilonidal Sinus (SP), so it could be approached in different ways. Among them: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. A pilonidal abscess will be treated like any other abscess, opening the skin and cleaning the pus. This technique is not curative, it is only intended to control the infection. At this stage of the disease it is not recommended to perform any surgery with curative intent. Since the affected area is magnified by local inflammation. Rarely, if the infection is very incipient and pus has not yet accumulated, it can be controlled with oral antibiotics and NO drainage. <\/li>\n
    2. An SP with few fistulous orifices and completely asymptomatic can be controlled in consultation alone, without surgery. However, it is very likely that over the years, the symptoms will reappear again at some point. <\/li>
    3. When an SP maintains discomfort after the initial infection, even if mild, the only possible treatment is surgery.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
