Is it safe to schedule an umbilical hernia surgery on amavasya or do doctors avoid operating on that day? I've heard some people say it's not a good time for surgeries but I'm not sure if that's just a myth

Many people are able to delay surgery for months or even years. And some people may never need surgery for a small hernia. If the hernia is small and you don't have any symptoms, or if the symptoms don't bother you much, you and your doctor may simply continue to watch for symptoms to occur.

I've been married for 7 years and have two kids a 5-year-old girl from a normal delivery and a 5-month-old boy via C-section. I have an umbilical hernia and diastasis recti, and my belly still looks like I'm 9 months pregnant. What should I do? Is surgery my only option?

I'm really worried because my belly button is sore and there's this clear, thin discharge coming out of it that smells really bad. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol for any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
