how long does it take to heal after fistulectomy surgery and what side effects should i expect also any tips to speed up recovery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

My friend was just diagnosed with an umbilical hernia but wants to avoid surgery for now and take a wait-and-watch approach. How long can he safely postpone the surgery? He also has early-stage diabetes could that affect his decision or make waiting riskier?
YES, you can

I've had this small lump on my stomach for years now and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I see a skin specialist or just go to my general physician first? Could it be something that needs surgery or is there another way to remove it? It doesn't hurt but I'm starting to get concerned since it's been there so long.
sx opinion.
