I've got an inguinal hernia that I've noticed tends to disappear when I push it back. Thankfully, I haven't had any pain from it yet. But I'm kind of worried because I've got a medical exam lined up in the next 20 days. Is there anything I can do to get it sorted out quickly?

Question

I'm dealing with a Pilonidal sinus and I've got two openings that bleed anytime I lie down to sleep. It's pretty worrying. Could you advise me on what treatments are available or what I should do?

I've been having some issues since my hernia operation in July. After taking a month off to rest, I went back to work in September, but now, a few months later, I'm feeling pain again in the same spot where the mesh was placed. Could it be because of extra work or maybe the cold weather affecting it? What should I do about this?

Question

Ive been dealing with this perianal abscess for around 20 days now. I was put on Uniclav 625 and have been applying Shield ointment for about 15 days. The abscess has started draining on its own partially, so Im wondering if I should keep using the Shield ointment on it. Also, are there any side effects if I use this ointment for a longer period?
