View allMy brother has been dealing with a fistula in ano for two years now and refuses to get surgery because he's scared. There's sticky discharge and sometimes blood from the opening. Could this have turned into something more serious like cancer or a precancerous condition
It's understandable that your brother is hesitant about surgery, but it's crucial for him to understand that an anal fistula, which is a tunnel between the anus and the skin around it, rarely heals on its own and can lead to complications if left untreated. The sticky discharge and blood are signs of infection and inflammation, and further complications can include recurrent abscesses, fecal incontinence, and even, in rare cases, cancer.

My 72-year-old dad has an umbilical hernia that's been growing in size. We tried homeopathy for a year but it didn't help. He doesn't want surgery right now since he's not having any major issues, but I'm worried about the hernia getting bigger. Can Ayurveda help treat this condition or slow down its growth?

My cousin was just diagnosed with two gallstones - one is 7mm and the other 4mm. Do they need surgery to remove these or can it be managed without an operation? If surgery is needed, would it be considered a minor or major procedure and roughly what would the cost be?
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very safe, minimally invasive, daycare surgery. If your epilepsy is well controlled, there’s usually no added risk. If it’s not well controlled, you can first focus on stabilizing it and then plan the surgery—it’s not an emergency. In the meantime, avoid oily and spicy food and maintain a healthy lifestyle to manage symptoms. Also, for gallstones, the gallbladder needs to be removed—just removing the stones won’t help, as they tend to recur. And ESWL is effective only for kidney stones, not for gallstones.
