I had surgery last month and still can't walk much because my stitches hurt. I've noticed I'm starting to gain weight since I'm not as active. What can I do to manage this without putting too much strain on my healing body?

To manage post-surgery weight gain during a period of limited mobility, focus on a healthy, balanced diet, monitor your calorie intake, and gradually reintroduce gentle movement as tolerated. Avoid overeating or consuming excessive sugary or fatty foods. Staying hydrated and getting enough rest can also help.

View allI noticed a small growth in my groin area and went to a general surgeon who diagnosed it as a sebaceous cyst and recommended surgery. But it's not causing me any discomfort, and I read online that applying apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball might help treat it. Is that actually effective or should I stick to the doctor's advice?

I've got this lump near my butt crack that's been giving me some trouble. Sometimes it itches, and other times it really hurts. There's even this green pus-like stuff coming out of it, which is pretty gross and uncomfortable. Can you tell me what kind of doctor I should see about this?
Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

My doctor recommended either open surgery or laparoscopy for my condition and I'm not sure which one to choose. Can you explain the pros and cons of each? Also how many stitches should I expect after the procedure?
Open surgery often involves a single, larger cut while laparoscopic surgery uses several smaller ones. This typically results in less pain and a shorter hospital stay for those undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, open surgery may leave a larger scar compared to the minor scarring from laparoscopic surgery.
