I'm really worried about my mom as shes been diagnosed with a hernia. Who should we talk to for this, and is there any way to manage a hernia without having to go through surgery? Just trying to explore all options.

For a hernia problem, you should consult a General Surgeon. Surgery is the most effective treatment for hernias, but in some cases, a truss or supportive garment may be recommended to help manage the hernia without surgery. However, it is important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action based on the specific type and severity of the hernia.

Pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) may contain sperm. Although the urethra is flushed with urine, residual sperm can remain. Studies show: - 17-37% of pre-cum samples contain sperm - Sperm can survive in the urethra for up to 24 hours However, the likelihood of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low.
