Had anal fistula surgery on 5th Oct 2020 and have a desk job. The wound isn't fully healed yet but there's no pain or discomfort. Is it okay to sit for long hours or resume work?

It is important that patients are able to rest for several days following the surgical procedure. During this time, they should allow their bodies to recover, and avoid sitting or walking for too long. Many people find it more comfortable to wear loose-fitting clothes during the recovery period.

View allI'm a 28-year-old male with a 4.7 mm umbilical hernia. I feel slight pain near my belly button but no other symptoms like constipation. How long might it take for the hernia to grow bigger? Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to wait for several years?

Umbilical hernias can grow slowly over time, and while some may spontaneously resolve, they are more likely to require surgery in adults
