Question

I'm dealing with this pilonidal sinus for a couple of months now, and I'm not really sure if I should see a doctor or just go to a skin care clinic for treatment. I'm also really worried about how much it's all going to cost in total. Any advice would be super helpful!

Question

I'm dealing with a pilonidal cyst that's started oozing a bit of pus and has been bleeding. I'm wondering if it's something that can heal on its own or if I should consider heading to the doctor's office. Is it something I should be worried about, or can it resolve without medical intervention?

Question

I've noticed a little pea-sized lump between my chest area and it sometimes comes with chest pain. I did some research online and think it might be the xiphoid process. I'm really concerned and wondering what's the best way to get it checked out. Also, if I need to have it removed, do you know what that kind of surgery might cost?

Question

I found out I have a 7mm stone in my gallbladder. I'm wondering if it's something that can be treated with medicine or if surgery is the only option. I just had a baby boy through normal delivery on December 31, 2016, and I'm concerned about going through surgery while still needing to breastfeed. Is it safe to have surgery and continue feeding my baby?
