i need help badly. i just had surgery yesterday on the exact same thing you have. and it looks the same expect mine constanly bleeds. is that normal?

[PiloGuy82]

@chubbyshady I know I'm a little late in replying, but some bleeding after the surgery is probably ok. Your tissue has been altered and you're dealing with a fresh wound. However, it's probably a good idea to talk with your surgeon regarding bleeding expectations. I know you posted a month ago, but how is your recovery coming?

dude you realize thats been packed way to much ay. especially on the bottom slit...doing that might contradict the healing

[PiloGuy82]

@marespand This is a good thing to point out; if you pack too tightly, it can impede healing. We never had a problem with this, and it may appear in the video that it is packed too much. We made certain it wasn't packed too tightly, however, at times we probably could have eased up a bit.

that packing is probably the most painful thing ever... i almost ripped off the metal bar they bolt into the cement walls when they changed mine

Why do they need to remove so much ass?

[Armybelligerent]

I don't remember any packing at least.

[Armybelligerent]

I've had this surgery three times and I NEVER had packing, I got stitches and it healedi n two weeks. Probably why I had three surgeries lmao. After the third it's not been a serious issue though. Very painful though, permanent 30% disability.

Does anyone know anything about the bascom procedure/surgery for this disease. Im about the have the bascom procedure on my cyst by dr harry lieberman in atlanta ga. The procedure I was told heals alot faster than the typical cut the whole cyst out and has a higher success rate.

how bad is my cyst if its just the hole?

[atxass]

I had my first pilonidial cyst when I was 17 got it lanced and two years later came back got it lanced. Then after gegting it 8 more times in just 5 months I had my surgeory after I couldn't sit or lay on my back for 10 weeks when u drain it it smells like rotten chicken that has been rotting in a closed bucket for like a week in 100 degree weather lol. Now I have a huge scar and half my ass gone.

Ohne Handschuhe und mit Ring!!!! IHHHHHHHGITTTTT!!!!!!!!!

[CreederSmoke14]

@bambis46 If you are asking if the abscess causes any problems before it is removed, then yes. With mine it makes sitting painful and uncomfortable, and laying flat on my back is impossible. Once it becomes big enough walking and standing upright have some annoying but survivable pain...

[Refinnej121707]

Its not that bad of a surgery to go through

Its just the aftermath...its just takes so long for it to heal & the packing doesnt hurt goin in or being removed...
