I'm trying to find out what the cost of a hernia operation might be at Hinduja Hospital in Mumbai or somewhere similar. Also, Im curious about how long someone would need to stay in the hospital afterward. It's all a bit overwhelming, and I just want to get a clear picture of what to expect. Could you help?

Dizziness and blackouts can be concerning, especially after brain tumor surgery.

Hisone-5 (Prednisone 5mg) is a steroid medication, and dizziness is a possible side effect.

However, blackouts are not typically associated with Prednisone.

Other potential causes for her symptoms might include:

Post-surgical complications or residual effects

Medication interactions or side effects from other medications

Consult her doctor or neurosurgeon to discuss these symptoms and determine the best course of action.

I had a deep wound about 4 inches long and 3 inches deep after my pilonidal sinus removal. It's been 20 days and the wound is still open my doctor suggested flap surgery but I'm hesitant to go under the knife again. If the wound heals on its own over time, could there be any long-term issues compared to getting stitches or surgery? I'm worried about complications later in life if it heals naturally

Elements that delay healing include infections and suspected causes such as poor hygiene and wound care choices, physical activity causing increased friction and shearing forces, and obesity.

I noticed a 22 x 22mm abdominal wall defect right above my belly button at the 12 o'clock position with some omental fat poking through what exactly does this mean and do I need surgery for it

An umbilical hernia is an unusual bulge you can often see or feel over your belly button (umbilicus). It develops when part of your small intestine, together with fat or fluid, forms a sac. The sac pushes through an opening or weakness in your abdominal wall muscle
