Can I fly with a femoral hernia if my surgery is scheduled for November 2nd but my flight is on October 18th
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally advisable to wait a period of time after surgery before flying, and that time frame can vary depending on the type of surgery and individual recovery. Given that your femoral hernia surgery is scheduled for November 2nd and your flight is on October 18th, you should consult with your surgeon before flying.the timing to fly after hernia surgery varies based on the surgical method and individual recovery, and open surgery may require several weeks. Your surgeon can assess your specific situation and provide tailored guidance on when it's safe for you to fly.

View allMy mom is 66 years old and has been diagnosed with umbilical hernia and incisional hernia. She's 5'2¬ù and weighs around 83 kg. She's currently on thyroid meds and has had past surgeries like C-section, thyroid, liver abscess, varicose veins, and knee surgery. We saw two doctors one suggested hernia repair with abdominoplasty, while the other recommended open hernia repair using mesh and advised weight loss before surgery since she's overweight. I'm confused about which approach is better for her given her medical history and weight. What would you recommend for her case?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

I've been dealing with a perianal abscess, and my ultrasound confirmed it. The doctors are saying I should have surgery, and I'm really anxious about any potential long-term effects it could have. Is surgery the only option here, or are there any alternatives I could consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.
Surgery is usually the most effective treatment for perianal abscesses, and while there may be some short-term discomfort and risk of complications, long-term effects are generally minimal; however, to discuss alternatives and potential risks, consult your surgeon
