I'm feeling this pain in my lower right stomach that's been there since yesterday, and it just won't go away. Plus, I've got this constant nauseous feeling like I need to vomit, but nothing's happening. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it? I'm starting to get really worried.

The pain in the lower right stomach along with the feeling of nausea can be indicative of various conditions. One common cause for these symptoms is appendicitis, which is inflammation of the appendix. Other possible causes include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, or even issues with the reproductive organs. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and treatment.

I recently found out I have an inguinal hernia and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there other treatment options like Ayurveda or homeopathy that could work? I'm also worried about how this might affect my sexual life since I'm not married yet. What could happen if I don't get it treated now will it cause more problems later?

Craniotomy means opening the skull to remove a clot or relieve pressure; recovery depends on damage extent but early surgery improves outcomes.
