I had kshar sutra surgery for a pilonidal cyst back in August and the wound has healed but sometimes it gets painful and swollen. Is there any topical ointment that can help reduce the swelling?

View allMy ultrasound showed multiple 8mm gallstones and I've been dealing with constipation and belching. Do I need surgery for this? Also, if I don't get the surgery now, could it cause issues later if I get pregnant?
Yes, given your symptoms and the size of your gallstones (8mm), surgery may be recommended. Gallstones larger than 8mm can cause digestive issues and potentially lead to complications like bile duct obstruction. Delaying surgery could increase the risk of these complications, including potential problems during pregnancy.

My baby is one month old and has an inguinal hernia. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried is this a minor procedure and is it safe for such a young baby
Surgery is usually necessary to prevent complications like the hernia getting trapped (incarceration) or the blood supply being cut off (strangulation). In this process, the hernia sac is tied off to stop the hernia from protruding further. After surgery, pain management and close monitoring for any issues are crucial
