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.

What is the best medicine for hernia?

The only way to effectively treat a hernia is through surgical repair. However, whether or not you need surgery depends on the size of your hernia and the severity of your symptoms. Your doctor may want to simply monitor your hernia for possible complications. This is called watchful waiting.
