View allI found out I have a 7mm stone in my gallbladder. I'm wondering if it's something that can be treated with medicine or if surgery is the only option. I just had a baby boy through normal delivery on December 31, 2016, and I'm concerned about going through surgery while still needing to breastfeed. Is it safe to have surgery and continue feeding my baby?
A 7mm gallbladder stone may require surgical removal, especially if it's causing pain or complications. If you need surgery, it's essential to discuss with your doctor whether its safe to breastfeed post-surgery. In most cases, you can resume breastfeeding once you've recovered, but your healthcare provider will guide you on the specific timing.

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.

I've been dealing with a pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried it might come back. Is homeopathy a good option to treat this without recurrence
Pilonidal sinus is a chronic condition often caused by hair and infection under the skin, and surgery is the most definitive treatment to remove the tract completely and prevent recurrence. While homeopathy may help manage mild symptoms temporarily, it does not address the root cause and has a high chance of recurrence without surgical intervention. It's best to follow your surgeon’s advice for long-term resolution.
