I'm getting ready for my right inguinal hernia surgery soon but I'm not sure if I should shave my groin area before the procedure. Also, I've been having pain all around that area and in my testicles what kind of ultrasound would be best to check that out?

Had ID surgery for a breast abscess 4 days ago with drain pipes still in place. During my dressing today, the surgeon noticed a possible fistula forming and advised me to pump the affected breast. Only a few drops of milk come out when I pump, but there's more leakage from the drain pipes. Would taking milk suppression meds help prevent the fistula? Are there any serious short or long-term side effects of those meds?
Milk suppression meds like cabergoline may help reduce leakage—discuss with your surgeon to prevent fistula formation.

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm a bit worried is surgery really the only option? I've heard ayurvedic treatments can cure it permanently. What do you think?
While surgery is often recommended for pilonidal sinus, it's not always the only option. Non-surgical treatments like laser hair removal, phenol application, and endoscopic ablation can also be effective, especially when detected early. Ayurvedic treatments, including Kshara Sutra, are also explored as alternatives, offering natural healing with potentially less pain and quicker recovery than surgery
