I found some abscesses in my ultrasound scan and I'm currently breastfeeding my baby at 30 years old. Is it safe for me to have surgery to treat them or could it affect my milk supply or my baby?

Yes, surgery is usually safe while breastfeeding—inform your surgeon and anesthetist to protect milk supply.

My 2-month-old baby has been diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia measuring 17x9.3 mm, with omental and bowel herniation going into the scrotal sac. The ultrasound shows maintained vascularity and minimal free fluid. Is open surgery under local anesthesia safe for such a young baby? I'm really worried about the risks at this age.
Open inguinal hernia repair, even under local anesthesia, is generally considered safe for a 2-month-old baby, especially when ultrasound findings indicate maintained vascularity and minimal fluid. However, the decision to proceed with surgery, including the type of anesthesia, should be made by a qualified pediatric surgeon in consultation with the parents, considering the baby's overall health, the severity of the hernia, and the surgeon's experience

I've had three hernia surgeries already and now I feel like it's coming back again. How do I push it back safely? I'm really confused and worried about what to do next.
It's understandable that you're concerned about a potential hernia recurrence after multiple surgeries. Do not attempt to push it back on your own. This could be dangerous and potentially cause serious complications. You should seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and discuss appropriate treatment options
