Question 2

Accepted Answer

Fissure can often heal with ointments, sitz baths, and fiber‚Äîsurgery is not first-line at your age.

Question 3

I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?

Accepted Answer

Consider consulting a specialist, such as  general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions

I have a hernia that doesn't show on the outside but hurts when I do physical work are there any treatments besides surgery that could help me manage the pain or fix it? I'm worried about going under the knife if there are other options.
