I had fistula laser surgery 5 weeks ago but there's still pus coming from the wound which looks like a tiny pin point. Is this normal healing or could there be a serious issue? How long should I wait for it to heal completely?

I've been having pain in my lower abdomen and testicles, and English medicine doctors diagnosed it as reducible right inguinal hernia. They recommended clinical correlation, but I'm really scared of surgery. Is there any ayurvedic treatment that can cure hernia without needing an operation? I'm worried about the pain and want to explore non-surgical options.
While ayurvedic treatments can help manage the pain and discomfort associated with a reducible inguinal hernia, they are unlikely to cure the condition without surgery. Surgery is typically the primary treatment for inguinal hernias to prevent complications and ensure a complete repair. Ayurvedic approaches may provide symptom relief and support the body's healing process, but they are not a substitute for a surgical repair

Found a 15mm gallstone on ultrasound and my GP recommended surgery what exactly does this procedure involve and are there other options I should consider before going under the knife
Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) is the common surgery for this. It’s minimally invasive and safe. If asymptomatic or mild, you may try dietary changes or medications, but surgery is usually advised for symptomatic stones.
