| الوصف: | Pilonidal sinus (PNS) occurs beneath the skin in the gluteal cleft just above the anus. It continues to pose a number of therapeutic challenges and its treatment is mostly surgical. A 33-year-old male shopkeeper consulted the homeopathy outpatient department of AYUSH with complaints of mild pain and bloody pus (serosanguinous) from the sinus tract and intermittent mild fever, for the past 2 years. The patient was apprehensive about the surgery and did not want it. We devised a therapy strategy for the patient. Depilation of the tract followed by the adding of a Kshar solution to spontaneously cauterize the scar tissue was performed. Finally, the homeopathic drug Silicea 200 was given for 3 months period, and the case was followed for more than 9 months. The case exhibited a marked reduction in probing of the tract (1.7–0 cm), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain (3-0), and discharge (+++ to NIL) after 3 months of treatment. The Outcome in Relation to Impact on Daily Living scale score was +4, indicating that he is back to normal in terms of both the main complaint and overall well-being. At the final visit, the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy score was +8 on a scale of −6 to +13. Homeopathy in combination with the Kshar solution can be an effective alternative approach to the management of PNS. As a result, controlled clinical trials are warranted. |
