Re: pilonidal cyst keeps draining will not stop help

The only reason I dissagree with this is because my husband has had his for about 3 years now, and the actual sugery is called the "football surgery". Which is pretty much self explanatory. They do take a large football chunk out of your rear, because there is not just one cyst. They seem to branch out and create others. Kris actually had his draining from 3 areas. 2 of which the cyst had created.

The surgery that you refer to is quick and painful, but it has to be done everytime you have an outbreak. It does not take it away, but it does relieve the pressure. It is called a lansing.

I just dont want anyone to think that the lancing is all there is too it. The reason we have not done the football surgery is because the recovery time is anywhere from 1-4 months. And we cannot afford him to take that time off.

Again, I just wanted to make sure that those who are just getting it think that the surgery is simple. It really is not.
