A Conceptual Study of Nadi Vrana w.s.r to Pilonidal Sinus.

Abstract

Pilonidal sinus is a frequent condition of the natal cleft in the  sacrococcygeal area that causes weak hair buildup in the hair follicles  and can be chronic or acute. The patient complains of inflammation related symptoms such as uncomfortable swelling, redness, elevated  local temperature, or nasal discharge. Prolonged sitting, the existence of  a deep birth cleft, obesity, hair irritation, and a family history of disease  may all raise the risk of disease. It is connected to Salyajanya Nadi  Vrana (pilonidal sinus), a form of Nadi Vrana (sinus) in Ayurveda.  Whose etiology is addressed in Nidanasthana and therapeutic aspects in  Susrutha Samhita's Chikitsasthana. Susrutha mentioned the use of  Kshara (caustic alkali) and Ksharasutra (Seton) to treat Nadivrana. Despite the fact that Nadivrana is claimed to be Kricchrasadhya (difficult to cure), studies suggest that Ayurvedic therapy helps to lessen  recurrence rate. As a result, successful management of this disease is  dependent on knowledge of pathophysiology, patient presentation, and  treatment aspects. The concept of nadi vrana w.s.r to pilonidal sinus was  explained in this article in light of ayurvedic and modern view.
