It's been 45 days since my open wound surgery and I still have yellowish pus oozing out even though I'm doing daily dressings and taking antibiotics why is this happening and should I be worried
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yellowish pus oozing from a wound, even after 45 days of surgery and with antibiotic treatment, is a sign of infection and should be addressed by a healthcare provider. It's important to seek medical advice as this could lead to serious complications if left untreated.

I have two small fibroadenomas in my left breast, 1 cm and 1.5 cm in size, and my doctor said surgery is the only option. I'm only 23 and don't want surgery are there any medicines, yoga, or ayurvedic remedies that can treat this? Also, is there any chance this could be cancer?
surgery is often recommended for fibroadenomas, especially those that are growing rapidly or are larger than 2 cm, it's not always the only option. Your doctor might recommend watchful waiting, where you undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the fibroadenomas. There are also non-surgical options like cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy. In addition, there's no evidence that yoga or ayurvedic remedies can effectively treat fibroadenomas, and these approaches shouldn't be seen as a replacement for medical care. Regarding your concern about cancer, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, and the risk of breast cancer is not significantly increased by having them. However, it's always best to follow up with your doctor and discuss your concerns and preferences

I've been diagnosed with pilonidal sinus and my doctor mentioned both open and closed surgery options but I'm not sure which one is better for me I'm worried about recovery time and chances of it coming back can you help me understand the pros and cons of each
The choice between open and closed surgery for a pilonidal sinus depends on individual factors, with open healing offering a lower risk of recurrence but a longer recovery time, while primary closure (closed surgery) heals faster but carries a higher risk of recurrence and infection.
