View allI recently had my gall bladder removed, it's been about 10 days now, and they've taken the stitches out. I'm wondering when it would be safe to start having sex again. Can you give me any advice or guidelines on this?
It is generally safe to resume sexual activity after gall bladder surgery once your stitches have been removed and your incision site has healed completely. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity to allow your body to fully recover. Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

My cousin has been having stomach pain and the doctor recommended hernia surgery based on her scan report. I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary could you take a look at the report and let me know if there are other options or if this is the best course of action? Just want to make sure we're making the right decision for her.
It's understandable to want to explore all options before surgery. While hernia surgery is generally the most effective treatment for painful or worsening hernias, some smaller or less symptomatic hernias might be managed with other approaches. It's crucial to discuss all options with your cousin's doctor and understand the potential risks and benefits of each approach
