Question 2

I've been diagnosed with a right inguinoscrotal hernia after a scrotal Doppler scan, and all doctors are recommending surgery. I'm wondering if homeopathy could be a good alternative will it actually help fix this or should I just go for the surgery?

Accepted Answer

In this procedure, which might be done with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision in your groin and pushes the protruding tissue back into your abdomen. The surgeon then sews the weakened area, often reinforcing it with a synthetic mesh (hernioplasty)

Question 3

I have a pilonidal sinus that came back after having laser surgery in 2015. This time it's not as bad pus discharged three times, but now the hole is closed with no pain or redness. I'm looking for a minimally invasive option like EPSiT (endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment). Are there any hospitals or day care clinics in Chennai that do this procedure? I'll be there from August 20th to 30th and want to get it done during that time. My case doesn't seem complicated, but even if it is, I still prefer EPSiT. I really don't want to be hospitalized or bedridden for months again can you recommend a doctor or clinic for this?

Accepted Answer

To prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery, focus on hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Maintain good hygiene, including regular showering and drying the area, to prevent bacterial accumulation. Regular hair removal, ideally weekly, is crucial to avoid ingrown hairs that can trigger infection. Additionally, consider laser hair removal for more permanent hair reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, as it can put pressure on the area, and maintain a healthy weight
