Had left side indirect inguinal hernia surgery last June and now getting back into weightlifting and core exercises. Is it safe to start or could this increase the risk of the hernia coming back?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's generally safe to resume weightlifting and core exercises after hernia surgery, especially after a laparoscopic repair, but it's crucial to do so gradually and under the guidance of your surgeon. Starting too soon or with improper technique could increase the risk of recurrence or complications.

View allI have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications?

Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.
