A pilonidal abscess, or pilonidal cyst, is an infection occurring near the intergluteal cleft. It's often caused by an ingrown hair.
Generally speaking, a pilonidal cyst will not affect your period. It should be treated, however. The treatment for a pilonidal cyst usually involves draining it (sometimes under local anesthesia), then placing a drain. Your doctor is likely to prescribe antibiotics as well.
