I had kshar sutra surgery for a pilonidal cyst back in August and the wound has healed but sometimes it gets painful and swollen. Is there any topical ointment that can help reduce the swelling?

Question 2

I'm feeling this pain in my lower right stomach that's been there since yesterday, and it just won't go away. Plus, I've got this constant nauseous feeling like I need to vomit, but nothing's happening. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it? I'm starting to get really worried.

Accepted Answer

The pain in the lower right stomach along with the feeling of nausea can be indicative of various conditions. One common cause for these symptoms is appendicitis, which is inflammation of the appendix. Other possible causes include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, or even issues with the reproductive organs. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I've had an abscess in my right breast for about three years now, and I've noticed something that's been worrying me. My right breast seems bigger than the left, and I've also lost sensation in the nipple. I'm wondering if this is due to the abscess or if there could be something else causing it?

Accepted Answer

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with an infection around my anus, and I think it might be a perianal abscess. It's really painful, and there's a continuous discharge of pus. I can't even sit properly because of it. Could you please suggest what I should do?
