I have a lipoma on the inner side of my thigh, around 4 by 5 cm in size. It doesn't hurt, and the FNAC test confirmed it's a lipoma. I've heard that thigh lipomas can sometimes turn into liposarcoma should I be worried about that? If I don't get it surgically removed, could it cause issues later? Are there any other ways to shrink it besides surgery?

Lipomas do not transform often;monitor size and consult a surgeon.If large,liposuction or excision under local anesthesia is typical.

View allI'm really worried about my mom as shes been diagnosed with a hernia. Who should we talk to for this, and is there any way to manage a hernia without having to go through surgery? Just trying to explore all options.
For a hernia problem, you should consult a General Surgeon. Surgery is the most effective treatment for hernias, but in some cases, a truss or supportive garment may be recommended to help manage the hernia without surgery. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action based on the specific type and severity of the hernia.

My mom's ultrasound showed her gallbladder is full of polyps, with the largest being 15mm. The gastroenterologist recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Are there any alternative treatments like homeopathy that could help instead of surgery?
