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
