I have an anal abscess and I'm wondering if surgery is the only way to treat it. How much would the surgery cost, how painful is the procedure, and how long does recovery usually take?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Anal abscess often requires drainage surgery; it’s typically done under local anesthesia and recovery may take 1–2 weeks with pain control.

View allI had sebaceous cyst surgery on November 10th and got my stitches removed on the 19th, but the cut hasn't fully healed there's still a small gap. Now my doctor is recommending putting in two more stitches, one of them dissolvable. Is this the right move or should I be concerned about the healing process?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and I'm not sure what the best treatment option is. Should I consider plastic surgery or is regular open surgery good enough? I'm a bit worried about recovery and which one would be better long-term
Pilonidal sinus is best treated with surgical options—excision with flap closure or laser.ENT-away inflammations often need tissue excision rather than simple drainage.

Had left side indirect inguinal hernia surgery last June and now getting back into weightlifting and core exercises. Is it safe to start or could this increase the risk of the hernia coming back?
Yes, it's generally safe to resume weightlifting and core exercises after hernia surgery, especially after a laparoscopic repair, but it's crucial to do so gradually and under the guidance of your surgeon. Starting too soon or with improper technique could increase the risk of recurrence or complications.
