View allI have an anal abscess and I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to treat it. How much would the surgery cost, how painful is the procedure, and how long does recovery usually take?

Found a 2.9mm gallstone during a scan but I have zero symptoms do I really need surgery right away? Just wondering if it can wait or if there are other options since it's not causing any issues
A 2.9mm gallstone that's asymptomatic doesn't typically require immediate surgery. Small gallstones often pass without causing problems, and surgery is usually recommended when symptoms develop or there's a high risk of complications. You can discuss your options with your doctor, who may recommend monitoring the stone's size and location with follow-up scans
