I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?

Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.

View allI had an appendectomy about a month ago and recently, for the past five days or so, I've been experiencing some pain in my right abdomen. It initially began after activities like running, but now it feels more localized on the right side. Is this something normal that happens after surgery, or do you think I should go back to the surgeon to get it checked out?
It is not uncommon to experience some pain and discomfort in the right abdomen after an appendectomy, especially during physical activities. However, if the pain has persisted for 5 days and is now localized to the right side of the abdomen, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation. They may recommend pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for relief.

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm a bit worried is surgery really the only option? I've heard ayurvedic treatments can cure it permanently. What do you think?
While surgery is often recommended for pilonidal sinus, it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments like laser hair removal, phenol application, and endoscopic ablation can also be effective, especially when detected early. Ayurvedic treatments, including Kshara Sutra, are also explored as alternatives, offering natural healing with potentially less pain and quicker recovery than surgery
