I have a perianal abscess and can't afford surgery right now. Is there any medication or home treatment that can help manage it? What are my options if I can only do medical treatment for now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A small perianal abscess may resolve with antibiotics, but surgery is usually needed to prevent recurrence. Sitz baths and painkillers help symptomatically.

my doctor said i have a hernia in the early stage is it possible to treat it without surgery can medicines alone fix it or will i eventually need an operation
Early-stage hernias usually can't be reversed with medicine alone. Surgery is the definitive treatment, though wearing a truss and avoiding strain can delay progression in some cases.

my aunt is scheduled for laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery tomorrow at 4 pm can she have something light like biscuits at 7 am or does she need to stay on an empty stomach until after the surgery
No, your aunt should not eat anything at 7 am. For laparoscopic gallstone removal surgery, patients typically need to be NPO (nothing by mouth) for a specific period before the procedure, usually around 6 hours. Since her surgery is scheduled for 4 pm, she will likely need to stop eating and drinking well before 7 am. It's crucial to follow the specific instructions provided by her surgeon and the hospital about fasting times.
