I had surgery for a pilonidal abscess but it seems to be coming back. Does homeopathy offer a permanent cure for this? I'm worried about dealing with this again and looking for effective treatment options.

View allI'm a 30-year-old active guy who plays sports and my wedding is coming up in April 2022. Just found out I have small bilateral inguinal hernias. Wondering if I should get the surgery done now or if it's okay to wait until after the wedding since I don't want it to affect my big day or recovery
It's generally recommended to repair bilateral inguinal hernias, even if they are small, due to the risk of complications like strangulation. However, the timing of the surgery can be discussed with your surgeon based on your individual needs and priorities.

Is it possible to just remove gallstones without taking out the whole gallbladder? Some doctors recommend surgery but say the gallbladder needs to be removed entirely. I'd prefer finding a surgeon who can take out only the stones is that an option?
yes advised.

I have an 11mm supra umbilical hernia and my doctor recommended laparoscopic surgery but I'm confused because it still involves a 15mm incision for the port. Wouldn't open surgery be a better option since the incision size is almost the same? Is my thinking correct medically?
While a 15mm incision for the laparoscopic port might seem comparable to an open surgery, laparoscopic surgery still offers advantages like reduced pain, faster recovery, and potentially lower complication rates. The laparoscopic approach uses multiple small incisions, not just one larger one, and the surgical view provided by the laparoscope can offer precision and potentially less manipulation of surrounding tissues.
