It occurs in the ratio of 3 or 4:1. In children, however, the ratio is the opposite occurring in 4 females for each male it afflicts.911DOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466669111561150174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-43274322074231728302007-03-16T15:52:00.000-05:002007-03-16T15:52:00.000-05:00It's not true that mostly men get these.

Years ago it was but now that there are more women in the workforce, especially in jobs where we are sitting all day, it is much more common in women so only slightly more than half of reported cases of pilonidal cysts are from men. Pilonidal means "nest of hairs" and was originally thought to be cause by in-grown hairs, and they can be, but that's not the only cause. <BR/>Anyway, to make a long story short, I am suffering with one right now and I'm praying that my antibiotics get rid of the infection. I really do not want to have the surgery, nor do I want to have an I&D. :(BeetleChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176104595959833284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-64119905757514863142007-02-26T13:32:00.000-06:002007-02-26T13:32:00.000-06:00You dawg-gone right it is one way to make a patien...You dawg-gone right it is one way to make a patient better IMMEDIATELY!<BR/><BR/>I had one of those buggers several years ago. I was scared to death to go to the doctor. <BR/><BR/>Finally when it was so big you could see the outline through my jeans, I went to a surgeon. He drained it immediately without any kind of anesthetic and I could have give him a big ole kiss afterwards!! Such relief.<BR/><BR/>He did the surgery a couple weeks later and I have never had another problem. <BR/><BR/>I understand mostly men get these. Is that true?<BR/><BR/>Just found your site and have enjoyed what I have read so far!Surgeon In My Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179150077622941677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24021163.post-13734566798609836462007-02-16T19:58:00.000-06:002007-02-16T19:58:00.000-06:00ewww.

Satisfying though, you take a patient who is in terrible pain and make it almost instantly better.ERnurseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843824564108513499noreply@blogger.com
