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?

A small perianal abscess may resolve with antibiotics, but surgery is usually needed to prevent recurrence. Sitz baths and painkillers help symptomatically.

I have two small fibroadenomas in my left breast, 1 cm and 1.5 cm in size, and my doctor said surgery is the only option. I'm only 23 and don't want surgery are there any medicines, yoga, or ayurvedic remedies that can treat this? Also, is there any chance this could be cancer?

surgery is often recommended for fibroadenomas, especially those that are growing rapidly or are larger than 2 cm, it's not always the only option. Your doctor might recommend watchful waiting, where you undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the fibroadenomas. There are also non-surgical options like cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy. In addition, there's no evidence that yoga or ayurvedic remedies can effectively treat fibroadenomas, and these approaches shouldn't be seen as a replacement for medical care. Regarding your concern about cancer, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, and the risk of breast cancer is not significantly increased by having them. However, it's always best to follow up with your doctor and discuss your concerns and preferences

Can you share more details about the surgery I need, like what exactly it involves and how long recovery usually takes? Also wondering which hospital would be best for this procedure and why you'd recommend them - do they have special expertise or better success rates? Could you also give me an idea about the costs and if there are any package deals or membership options that might help with expenses

please share the reports.
