Found a 2.9mm gallstone during a scan but I have zero symptoms do I really need surgery right away? Just wondering if it can wait or if there are other options since it's not causing any issues
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 2.9mm gallstone that's asymptomatic doesn't typically require immediate surgery. Small gallstones often pass without causing problems, and surgery is usually recommended when symptoms develop or there's a high risk of complications. You can discuss your options with your doctor, who may recommend monitoring the stone's size and location with follow-up scans

View allCan you tell me if there are non-surgical treatments for hernia and how serious it is I'm really worried and need more details as soon as possible
The hernia can only be treated with surgery, really. It can be managed with the hernia belt until you're waiting for surgery, but the only real treatment for a hernia is with surgery.

Is it okay to have gallbladder surgery during my period since my operation is scheduled for October 1st and I might be on my cycle then
Yes, it is generally okay to have surgery during your period, including a gallbladder surgery. Your period does not affect the surgical outcome or need to be rescheduled. While it may be a little more uncomfortable, surgeons are accustomed to dealing with blood during surgery, and it's important to inform the medical staff so they can provide you with appropriate sanitary products and assistance

I've got this lump near my butt crack that's been giving me some trouble. Sometimes it itches, and other times it really hurts. There's even this green pus-like stuff coming out of it, which is pretty gross and uncomfortable. Can you tell me what kind of doctor I should see about this?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.
