A pilonidal cyst often appears as a warped bulge.\u00a0It sits in the middle of the back end just where the buttocks split.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is not entirely known how a pilonidal cyst<\/strong> occurs.\u00a0Probably this is because a strand of hair has been pushed back into its hair follicle.\u00a0This can cause inflammation of the hair follicle and it becomes swollen and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the inflamed hair follicle breaks.\u00a0Then a small duct can be formed under the skin, a so-called fistula.\u00a0It can also penetrate the skin.\u00a0Then it often flows a little fluid or was out of the fistula opening.\u00a0As a result, several fistula passages can form under the skin, and inflammation and bulging can come and go.\u00a0Pilonidal cysts<\/em> can become infected if bacteria enter through the fistula, and then a bulge can form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One cause of hair follicle inflammation may be that you have a job where you sit still a lot.\u00a0Pilonidal cysts are more common in men than in women and the symptoms often come in their twenties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There may be some smelly liquid from the area at the back end for a while, even if you do not feel any bum.\u00a0But often you can detect a pilonidal cyst<\/span> by getting a bulge that hurts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes the problems can come and go in periods, even without treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact a\u00a0health care center\u00a0if you get a bulge or if there is fluid or were from the back end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A bully that hurts a lot may need to be emptied of where. Then the doctor cuts an incision in the buttocks. You get local anesthesia before. Then you have to go to a district nurse for a week to have the wound taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may need surgery if the trouble often comes back.\u00a0It is usually done when you have no inflammation.\u00a0During the operation, you get\u00a0back anesthesia\u00a0or are\u00a0anesthetized.\u00a0After the surgery, it takes about a month before the wound has healed.\u00a0After the operation, it can hurt and feel tight for one to two weeks.\u00a0It can be difficult to sit for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is good if you shave your hair and are careful with the hygiene in the area where the pilonidal cyst is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can seek care at any medical center or open specialist clinic you want throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order for you to be involved in your care and treatment for pilonidal cyst<\/strong>, it is important that you understand the information you receive from the healthcare organization.\u00a0Ask questions if you don’t understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A pilonid cyst often appears as a warped bulge.
