Recurrent Surgical HS: Breaking the Cycle of Incisions Through Ayurvedic Root-Cause Healing
Table of Contents
Many patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) face repeated surgical procedures—incisions, drainages, de-roofing, and excisions—as lesions keep returning in the same or new areas. While surgery may offer short-term relief from painful abscesses or sinus tracts, it does not address the internal cause of the disease. The result is a frustrating cycle of wound healing, recurrence, and emotional exhaustion.
At EliteAyurveda, we specialize in helping patients who have undergone multiple surgeries for HS find a permanent resolution through internal detox, immune correction, and metabolic rebalancing—without further surgical dependency.

Recurrent Surgical HS
🔁 Why Does HS Keep Coming Back After Surgery?
🔶 1. Surgery Only Removes the Manifestation, Not the Root Cause
- HS is not a purely localized infection—it’s an outcome of systemic immune dysfunction, digestive toxicity, and hormonal imbalance
- Surgery cuts out the affected tissue but does nothing to correct the internal imbalance
🔶 2. Tissue Damage Triggers More Inflammation
- Surgical trauma activates local immune cells, which can worsen inflammation
- Scar tissue can block srotas (channels), causing new tracts or abscesses to form nearby
🔶 3. Weak Agni and Accumulated Ama
- Poor digestion (low Agni) leads to Ama (toxins), which settle in the sweat glands, fat tissue, and skin microchannels
- Unless this is cleared, HS will return—even after excision
📍 Common Features of Recurrent Surgical HS
- Previous history of multiple surgeries in the underarm, groin, or gluteal areas
- Scarred areas with non-healing wounds or new nodules nearby
- Frequent post-surgical use of antibiotics or painkillers, weakening gut and immunity
- Drainage-dependent flares, where lesions don’t heal until manually drained
- Emotional trauma and frustration with long-term disease management
🧠 Ayurvedic View of Recurrent Surgical HS
Ayurveda views repeated surgical flares as a sign that deep internal imbalances were never addressed:
🔸 Dosha Imbalance:
- Pitta → chronic inflammation and pus
- Kapha → channel clogging, thick secretions
- Vata → tunneling tracts, pain, recurrence
🔸 Dhatu Dushti:
- Meda (fat) and Rakta (blood) tissues are impure and inflamed
- Blocked Swedavaha Srotas (sweat ducts) due to sticky Ama and metabolic waste
🔸 Post-Surgical Aggravation:
- Surgical trauma causes Vata aggravation, delaying healing
- Scar tissue leads to Srotorodha (channel obstruction), worsening the spread

🌿 Personalized Herbal Formulations for Recurrent Surgical HS
Our customized internal medicines aim to:
