Likely a vasovagal: response. But you can always call 911 or go to an ER if you ever feel you are experiencing a medical emergency. Typically, if one lances a pilonidal cyst -- other than the pain from the procedure, and the purulent drainage from it, if there is no significant bleeding -- all typically is fine, but when there is concern relating to your syncope; go to the ER, to ensure no heart attack, etc occurring

Several years ago I had a pilonidal cyst that had to be cut open and and drained. It healed and I didn't have any problems until about 2 years ago. At first it would bleed for a week stop for a few. Now it bleeds almost daily?
