I had my hernia surgery about 4 months ago and everything seemed fine, but for the past 10-15 days, I've been feeling a light pain near the surgery cut. Could this be something serious I should worry about?

It's been 10 days since my lipoma surgery but the wound hasn't healed yet and there's still pus buildup with a bad smell - is this normal or should I be worried about infection?

Surgery that involves a cut (incision) in the skin can lead to a wound infection after surgery. Most surgical wound infections show up within the first 30 days after surgery. Surgical wound infections may have pus draining from them and can be red, painful or hot to touch. You might have a fever and feel sick

I'm a woman with an umbilical hernia and I'm trying to decide between open or laparoscopic surgery which one would be better for me? I've heard recovery times and risks can vary, so I'm a bit nervous about picking the right option. What factors should I consider when choosing between the two?

Open Surgery: Recovery usually takes longer, with a typical healing period of four to six weeks. Patients may experience more discomfort initially. Laparoscopic Surgery: Recovery is generally quicker, often allowing patients to resume daily activities within two weeks.
