Fistulectomy typically requires 4 to 6 weeks for complete healing, with most feeling better within a week. Expect some mild pain, swelling, and discomfort. To speed up recovery, follow your surgeon's instructions, manage pain, prioritize rest, and avoid strenuous activities

View allI noticed a small 6mm defect in the linea alba right above my belly button with some fat poking through but no bowel loops. Is there any way to fix this without going under the knife? I'm a bit worried about it getting worse
A 6mm defect in the linea alba with fat protruding but no bowel loops likely indicates a small epigastric hernia. While surgery is the standard treatment, watchful waiting may be an option for small, asymptomatic hernias. You can also try temporary solutions like wearing a hernia belt or truss, holding the area when straining, and avoiding heavy lifting. However, it's crucial to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.

My mom is 61 years old and weighs 54 kg she just got diagnosed with an umbilical hernia based on her USG report. Right now she isn't feeling any pain, but I'm worried about whether she needs surgery. If surgery is necessary, would laparoscopic or open surgery be better for her

Found a 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in my gallbladder neck are there any ways to treat it without getting surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?
A 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in the gallbladder neck can cause pain and complications like cholecystitis. Unfortunately, non-surgical options like medications (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) are often ineffective for stones this size or location. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is the most definitive and safe treatment.
