Yes, it is generally okay to have surgery during your period, including a gallbladder surgery. Your period does not affect the surgical outcome or need to be rescheduled. While it may be a little more uncomfortable, surgeons are accustomed to dealing with blood during surgery, and it's important to inform the medical staff so they can provide you with appropriate sanitary products and assistance

My granny was diagnosed with gallstones the largest one is 12mm and there are a few smaller ones too. I've heard surgery to remove the gallbladder is the only option, but I was wondering if homeopathy could help in this case? Would love to know if there are other alternatives.

I noticed a small growth in my groin area and went to a general surgeon who diagnosed it as a sebaceous cyst and recommended surgery. But it's not causing me any discomfort, and I read online that applying apple cider vinegar with a cotton ball might help treat it. Is that actually effective or should I stick to the doctor's advice?

I had an ultrasound report showing a 5.2 mm increased size with a suggestion of catarrhal appendicitis. What does this mean and can it be treated without surgery? I'm a bit worried about what this diagnosis implies and if there are non-surgical options to manage it.
