Yes, you should be able to exercise afterwards. Follow your doctor's at-home care instructions following the surgery and act accordingly.

You would need to discuss with your surgeon when you may return to exercising after pilonidal cyst surgery.

It depends on the kind of wound you have after surgery. Probably no strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks and maybe even 6-8 weeks.
