Pilonidal Cyst Archives

Pilonidal Sinus

I have had the operation done in 1960 with the stitching method. I had it lanced once before that. It flared up badly about sid weeks after the operation. The surgeon cleaned it out in outpatients. Over the years it gave me trouble especially at my periods. I discovered a few years ago that Garlic capsules 50mg helped it enormously. I have very little trouble with it now. I have met several young people who has it, one was my son, the doctor was going to send him for an operation. I told him to take the garlic caplsules for about a year. He has no problem with it now, and I have passed on this treatment to several others with success for them. The doctors told me I should have it done again, but I would not. The garlic did the trick. Hope it does it for most of ye.
I only discovered this site to day by accident. For years I thought I was an oddball. The very6 light discahrge fro a slightly sore belly button happens from time to time. The smell seems to be common from it and the PS
Not getting it now since I use the Garlic

I've heard that taking garlic can cause an unpleasant odor to come from one's body.

Remember that the cyst cavity is probably still inside of you even though you're keeping the flare ups at bay with the garlic.

There are people who will take the surgical route and ones who won't/don't, but each person should read all they can on the subject and then make an informed decison--one that's best for 'them.'

Good luck with it!
