I noticed a painless lump in my armpit and was wondering if it can go away without surgery. If surgery is needed, which specialist should I see for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A painless armpit lump should be examined by a general surgeon. Some resolve on their own, but persistent lumps often need imaging and possibly surgical removal.

my wife has been diagnosed with gallbladder stones and she's been having stomach pain. is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? just worried about whether an operation is absolutely necessary
Gallstones that cause no symptoms, generally don't need any medical treatment. In certain cases (such as abdominal surgery for other conditions), doctors may remove your gallbladder if you are at high risk of complications of gallstones.

my mother has a hernia issue which specialist should we see for this? are there any non-surgical options to treat hernia or is surgery the only solution?
For a hernia, you should consult a general surgeon, as they specialize in diagnosing and treating hernias. Non-surgical options like watchful waiting or using a supportive truss may help in mild cases, but surgery is usually the definitive treatment to repair the hernia and prevent complications. Early evaluation by a surgeon is recommended.
