I'm 30, unmarried, and was diagnosed with a groin hernia 9 months ago. Right now, there's no pain, just a bulge. I have a few concerns first, is open surgery or laparoscopic better for this? Second, if I don't get surgery, could it affect my sex life? And if I do get surgery, does it matter if it's before or after marriage will it impact my sexual function? Also, can I still work out, run, and jump if I don't get surgery? And after surgery, how soon can I get back to gym and sports?

I've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

**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?
