View allI've noticed a small pea-sized lump in my chest area and sometimes experience chest pain too. I read online that it could be related to the xiphoid process. How can I confirm what this is, and if it needs to be removed, what's the usual cost for the surgery?
A chest lump near the xiphoid could be cartilage or lipoma. An ultrasound or CT scan can confirm. Surgical removal costs ₹15,000–₹40,000 typically.

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

**Rephrased Query:** I recently got my USG and MRCP reports, and the surgeon recommended surgery to remove my CBD and gallbladder, then connect my liver directly to the small intestine. I'm really worried is surgery absolutely necessary based on these findings? Are there any medications or other treatments that could help avoid surgery? And if surgery is the only option, what kind of long-term effects should I expect from having my CBD and gallbladder removed?
Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.
