I'm a 30-year-old active guy who plays sports and my wedding is coming up in April 2022. Just found out I have small bilateral inguinal hernias. Wondering if I should get the surgery done now or if it's okay to wait until after the wedding since I don't want it to affect my big day or recovery

It's generally recommended to repair bilateral inguinal hernias, even if they are small, due to the risk of complications like strangulation. However, the timing of the surgery can be discussed with your surgeon based on your individual needs and priorities.

I have a perineal abscess and the pain is really bad near it, is there any way to treat it without surgery
A perineal abscess often requires drainage to relieve pain and prevent worsening infection. In some early or mild cases, antibiotics and warm sitz baths may help temporarily, but surgery (incision and drainage) is usually the definitive treatment. Please consult a doctor promptly to avoid complications.
