I have a double hernia on both sides and I'm really worried about which surgery option open or laparoscopic would give me a permanent fix with no chance of it coming back. Is there one that offers a lifetime guarantee?

I recently found out I have an inguinal hernia and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there other treatment options like Ayurveda or homeopathy that could work? I'm also worried about how this might affect my sexual life since I'm not married yet. What could happen if I don't get it treated now will it cause more problems later?

Craniotomy means opening the skull to remove a clot or relieve pressure; recovery depends on damage extent but early surgery improves outcomes.

My dad is 65 and has COPD from smoking and exposure to harmful gases for 15 years. He also has a hernia we know COPD isn't curable, but is it safe for him to have hernia surgery now given his condition?

It's understandable to be concerned about hernia surgery in someone with COPD. While COPD itself isn't curable, a hernia surgery can be safe if the patient's lung function is within acceptable limits and proper management is in place.
