I recently found out I have an inguinal hernia and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there other treatment options like Ayurveda or homeopathy that could work? I'm also worried about how this might affect my sexual life since I'm not married yet. What could happen if I don't get it treated now will it cause more problems later?

Craniotomy means opening the skull to remove a clot or relieve pressure; recovery depends on damage extent but early surgery improves outcomes.

I have a pilonidal sinus that came back after having laser surgery in 2015. This time it's not as bad pus discharged three times, but now the hole is closed with no pain or redness. I'm looking for a minimally invasive option like EPSiT (endoscopic pilonidal sinus treatment). Are there any hospitals or day care clinics in Chennai that do this procedure? I'll be there from August 20th to 30th and want to get it done during that time. My case doesn't seem complicated, but even if it is, I still prefer EPSiT. I really don't want to be hospitalized or bedridden for months again can you recommend a doctor or clinic for this?

To prevent recurrence of pilonidal sinus after surgery, focus on hygiene, hair removal, and lifestyle modifications. Maintain good hygiene, including regular showering and drying the area, to prevent bacterial accumulation. Regular hair removal, ideally weekly, is crucial to avoid ingrown hairs that can trigger infection. Additionally, consider laser hair removal for more permanent hair reduction. Avoid prolonged sitting, as it can put pressure on the area, and maintain a healthy weight

Was wondering if I should be worried. I had hernia repair surgery on my right side but this past week I've been coughing a lot and now I'm feeling pain on my left side too. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It's not uncommon to experience discomfort or pain on the opposite side after hernia surgery due to compensatory strain. However, persistent pain or new symptoms like coughing could indicate an issue that should be evaluated by your doctor to ensure everything is healing properly. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough assessment.
