A member asked:

I've had a pilonidal cyst for years, but now i'm pregnant. can i get an epidural?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronen Elefant answered

Specializes in Critical Care

Yes: An epidural is generally done at a higher spinal level than where the usual location for a pilonidal cyst is. It should be of no concern.
