I recently had laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia, but it's been 10 days and now I'm dealing with fever and chills. They found out there's an infection and pus where the mesh is, though it's sterile with no bacteria found. The doctor thinks my body is rejecting the mesh and wants to do another surgery to take it out. Is there any other option besides a second surgery and mesh removal? And if they do take out the mesh, am I at risk of getting another inguinal hernia? Just looking for some advice on what to do next. Any suggestions?

Mesh is required to strengthen the wall, in direct hernia this is done to prevent the recurrence of hernia.. Doctor will the mesh allergy, mesh is made of inert metal which don't react with external agent.. But if you are really allergic to it then they will remove it...

Gallstones over 10‚ÄØmm are unlikely to dissolve with meds;non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid work best for smaller stones under monitoring.

I have a 5mm umbilical hernia and I'm not sure how serious it is do I need surgery for something this small? Can I still do light abdominal exercises or lift my 15-month-old baby without making it worse? Is there any chance it might heal on its own with exercise?
