I'm 56 and have had an inguinal hernia on my right lower abdomen for 2 years now. I really want to avoid surgery can ayurvedic or homeopathic treatments help? I live in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh could you suggest the best doctor for this?

While Ayurveda and homeopathy may offer symptom relief, they generally don't cure hernias and may not be a long-term solution for inguinal hernias. Hernias typically require surgery for a permanent fix.

My cousin has been having stomach pain and the doctor recommended hernia surgery based on her scan report. I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary could you take a look at the report and let me know if there are other options or if this is the best course of action? Just want to make sure we're making the right decision for her.
It's understandable to want to explore all options before surgery. While hernia surgery is generally the most effective treatment for painful or worsening hernias, some smaller or less symptomatic hernias might be managed with other approaches. It's crucial to discuss all options with your cousin's doctor and understand the potential risks and benefits of each approach

I have a perianal abscess and can't afford surgery right now. Is there any medication or home treatment that can help manage it? What are my options if I can only do medical treatment for now?
A small perianal abscess may resolve with antibiotics, but surgery is usually needed to prevent recurrence. Sitz baths and painkillers help symptomatically.
