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'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this persistent lower abdominal pain, and a doctor back home suggested that it might be a hernia. I'm a bit confused about who we should see for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Should we be consulting a gastroenterologist, or is it better to visit a general surgeon for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be really helpful.

My mom's scan showed a 30mm gallbladder stone and the doctor said she needs surgery. What kind of surgery would they do would it be laser treatment? How exactly do they remove a stone that big? Just worried about how the procedure works and what to expect.
For a 30mm gallbladder stone, the surgery is likely a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which removes the entire gallbladder through small incisions. While laser treatment can be used to fragment stones, it's not the primary method for gallbladder stone removal in this case. The 30mm stone would be removed along with the gallbladder.

I'm dealing with something really weird for the first time. I've got an abscess on my buttcrack, and it's been almost a week now, but it hasn't healed yet. I've been trying antibiotics and warmcold presses, but I still don't see the head coming up. I'm a bit unsure about whom I should visit for this. I think draining it out would be best, but shouldn't there be a head before that can happen? What do you think I should do?
Given the persistence of the abscess near your butt-crack despite antibiotics and home remedies, it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon,
