I'm really concerned because I've had this painful lump in my armpit for about a week now. I'm in Bangalore and I'm not sure which doctor I should consult for this. Could it possibly be something serious like cancer?

View allMy 18-month-old daughter has had an umbilical granuloma since birth. We tried the common salt treatment but it didn't work. Her belly button gets red sometimes, stays moist, and has mucus buildup. She scratches it a lot, making it worse. Doctors are suggesting surgery now, but I'm really worried are there any other treatment options we can try first?
While surgical excision is an option for umbilical granulomas, it's not always the first approach. Other treatments, like silver nitrate, can be effective, especially if applied by a healthcare professional. It's also important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area dry, and avoid harsh treatments like scrubbing.

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

Can gallbladder stone surgery and tubectomy be done at the same time I have been having pain from gallstones and my doctor recommended cholecystectomy I also want to get a tubectomy is it possible to combine both procedures
Gallbladder stone surgery (cholecystectomy) and tubectomy can be done in the same session if both procedures are safe to perform together. This can reduce the number of hospital visits, but you should consult your surgeon for a personalized plan.
