Who Can Get a Pilonidal Sinus? Expert Care in Indore by Dr. Amit Ganguly
A pilonidal sinus is a painful condition that develops near the tailbone, usually at the top of the buttock crease. Many people ignore early symptoms, thinking it’s just a minor skin issue—but without proper treatment, it can turn into a recurring infection. Understanding who is at risk is the first step toward prevention and timely care.
People Who Commonly Get a Pilonidal Sinus
A pilonidal sinus can affect anyone, but it is more common in:
Young adults, especially between 15–35 years
Men, due to thicker body hair
People with excessive hair growth around the lower back or buttocks
Individuals who sit for long hours (office workers, drivers, students)
Those with poor hygiene or excessive sweating
People who are overweight or obese
Anyone with a family history of pilonidal sinus
Early symptoms may include pain while sitting, swelling near the tailbone, redness, or discharge of pus. Ignoring these signs can lead to abscess formation and repeated infections.
