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 a small 8mm inguinal hernia on the right side and want to avoid mesh implants I've heard about the Desarda technique using a tissue graft instead. Is it really as effective as mesh repair? Also, can you recommend places in India where I can get this surgery done?

Can I get my inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal surgery done at the same time since I have 1011 small gallstones? Is combining these procedures safe and how long would the recovery take?
Yes, it's generally safe to combine inguinal hernia mesh repair and gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) surgery at the same time, especially if the gallbladder removal is done laparoscopically. This approach can potentially reduce hospital costs and increase patient satisfaction. Recovery time would typically be 4-6 weeks, with a slower recovery for open hernia repair.
